Millennium Fellowship Project: Uplifting Indigenous Voices
"Uplifting Indigenous Voices" is a grassroots project that aims to empower the voices of indigenous students and is a platform for them to share their stories. The aim of this project is to connect stories, history and culture to educate a larger demographic about indigenous culture, to eradicate barriers and to create social and
cultural understanding. As of now the project has hosted campaigns both online and offline focusing on active participation of both Indigenous and general students with community dialogues, tea talks, distributing leaflets, social media and anti-bullying campaigns. The project will also host a Cultural Showcase inviting indigenous artists to promote Indigenous art, music, food and cultural heritage. This showcase
would create cultural exchange and better understanding of different cultures within an audience that represents parts of the majority. The project has currently been working on Dhaka University campus, and will also campaign in more campuses in the future. The project will bridge the gap between different cultures, promoting cohesion and an inclusive campus. In the long term, with dialogue and cultural
empowerment of individuals, the project wishes to promote more harmonious communities beyond these campuses.
