" Millennium Fellowship Project: De-lid University College London has 4 on-campus cafes and multiple other coffee chain outlets in the greater vicinity of the campus. Each disposable cup of coffee comprises of a plastic lid and a cup made out of plastic and paper. Due to the composition of the disposable cup – plastic and paper – only certain specialist plants in the UK are capable of working on recycling these cups. However, the polypropylene plastic lid can be effectively recycled. I aim to establish ‘Re-lid Bins’ that are used to separately dispose the plastic lids. This segmentation will allow for easy recycling. I strive to spread awareness regarding the cause and encourage students to pursue this green practice. Additionally, I seek to implement the ‘BYOL’ or ‘Bring your own lid’ scheme to promote the practice of carrying your own reusable lids made of materials like metal or rubber. I hope to spread awareness and send more than 1000 lids for recycling.

If steps are not taken our future can be so devastating not only for humans but for all living creatures. Keeping in view “a change in individual or a small group of people is always reciprocated in society”, we have tried to bring a positive change in our society by taking various awareness sessions in different schools on how we can address this challenge by engaging the younger generation of our society for the greater good of our planet. Where our focus was on how we can reduce the causes of climate change by taking small steps like using bicycles or the public transport instead of using personal cars, by reducing pollution and by planting more trees. In our project we planted more than 75 trees to initiate our journey towards a positive change and it will prove itself as an entrée towards a more sustainable future ahead.

I was born in the municipality of Puerto Rico, Meta in the southeast of Colombia; a municipality affected by different violent encounters within the framework of the Colombian internal conflict. As a result of this, I lost part of my family, I was displaced, and found in forgiveness and peacebuilding the principles that guide my life project. The desire to prevent history from repeating itself has become a decision of constant growth and a commitment to building peace with Colombia and the world. For the past 5 years, I have been interested in the development of peace in my country. I have actively worked using arts and dialogue as tools to promote social cohesion, peacebuilding, and conflict prevention and resolution. Guided by my commitment to this field, I have participated by providing support in relevant educational conferences, training sessions, and workshops with the aim of increasing my skills and applying my knowledge to the post-conflict process in Colombia. Additionally, as a survivor of the conflict, I realized the potential of personal testimonies and the impact of making different decisions to break the cycle of violence. For this reason, I shared my story through a short film that became the first step in a process of personal reconciliation.
