The continued success of our students is a testament to the individual and collective commitment of our undergraduate students to make a positive impact, both locally and globally.鈥

The selective Fellowship is a semester-long leadership development program that convenes, challenges, and celebrates student leadership to help achieve UN goals. As part of the application process, students propose a project they will undertake during the scheme, which runs annually from August to December.

Successful applicants form a cohort on their campus, meeting throughout their tenure to share best practice on their individual projects or work together on larger initiatives.

Leila Lai and Gaelic Jara Reinhold are coordinating Cohort A. During her Fellowship, Leila鈥檚 project will be addressing the fragmented identities and feelings of insecurity faced by young people who have experienced globalization and social mobilisation, leading them to live, study, and develop in various countries and cultures. This will support Goals including SDG10: Reduced Inequalities and SDG16 (Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions)

Gaelic is developing a wearable AI-powered smart badge to revolutionise personal safety for individuals, in support of SDG11 (Sustainable Cities & Communities).

Mariya Kachwala and Anson Law are coordinating Cohort. Mariya鈥檚 project, Climate Connected is seeking to address climate literacy among children, enabling them to find innovative solutions to the local and persistent problems that surround them in their neighbourhoods, cities and villages.

Anson is aiming to provide underprivileged secondary school students with a chance to know more about applying to well-known universities across the world in support of SDG4 (Quality Education).
