" Millennium Fellowship Project: Safe Space Initiative Safe Space Initiative is a project on sexual health and wellbeing, under the sustainable development goal (SDG) 3 and focuses chiefly on the social stigma experienced by people living with Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs). The focal point of this project will be on the stigma these people face in their homes, neighbourhood areas, and the overall society at large. I plan on debunking common rumours associated with STDs. These rumours highly contribute to the shame these individuals face. With proper education and awareness, Safe Space Initiative hopes to bring about acceptance of these marginalized individuals into society. I plan on educating the public on the types of STDs, safe sex practices such as avoiding multiple sexual partners, proper use of condoms, regular testing and vaccinations. All these, while uncomfortable to discuss can play a significant role in keeping these diseases in check.

I am therefore committed to encouraging voting and simplifying the perceived complexities of the electoral process. Being a Millennium Fellow will enable me to amplify my efforts and expand the impact of my work. " Millennium Fellowship Project: The Student Voter Empowerment Project A disinterest in electoral participation has been a problem in Ireland for years and was clearly demonstrated by the low voter turnout in Ireland’s March 2024 referendums. Our project was therefore dedicated to increasing voter engagement by educating individuals on the importance of participating in elections and empowering them to become active and informed voters. We strove to make the electoral process more accessible and inviting to all. With the Irish Parliament (Dáil) elections aligning with the duration of our project, they became our primary focus, serving as a platform to initiate a practice of voter participation amongst UCD students. Our approach involved three goals: the first was developing a handbook establishing the mechanics and purposes of voting in an easily digestible manner. The second was conducting a campus survey to help us make the handbook as useful as possible. The third was hosting a voter registration drives across campus to reach students with no obvious link to politics. Through these efforts, we sought to establish a culture of consistent voter engagement, empowering individuals to participate in the elections that will shape Ireland’s future.
