Millennium Fellowship Project: Inspiring Greatness in the Emerging Youths
Inspiring Greatness in the Emerging Youths is a group project of I and some members of my cohort. The purpose of the project is to reach out to as many children and teenagers as we can and engage them on areas of self esteem, self development, self awareness, self love, justice, leadership mindset, social values, e.t.c. which may not be taught in their classrooms. We aim to achieve this by reaching out to them through their schools. We visited Nnamdi Azikiwe Primary school to educate them on the areas highlighted above. Our project is very significant as it covers SFG 4 and involves lessons that may not be covered by the pupils classrooms.
