" I believe I could contribute with my knowledge and abilities to interact with people. In that way, I will be able to spread information to younger generations. At the same time, I hope to encourage students to make a chance and, in consequence, to start caring about the accomplishment of the 2030 Agenda. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Escuela de Invierno: Nuevas Voces Globales
The 'Escuela MONUCH: Nuevas Voces Globales' project's objective is to strengthen development education and global citizenship education through Model UN (MUN) as an educational tool.
During the fellowship we could achieve our goals throughout the execution of the project by incorporating the values, good practices and criteria provided by the programme. We could reach a massive attendance during the deployment of our workshops and activities (more than a 100 students from different parts of Santiago) and we could work with a group of public high school students that met us in the first and second edition of the 'Escuela MONUCH:Nuevas Voces Globales' to expand our vision of this project.
