107. A cup of tea with Paulina Molteni

"A young woman to look up to." That perfectly describes today’s
guest, Paulina Maria Venezia Molteni. At just 20 years old,
Paulina is already deeply involved in a variety of organisations
and has launched several of her own projects. It’s no surprise
that she has recently won the prestigious Young Women in
Public Leadership Award at the regional, district, and
international level! The award issued by Zonta International,
recognizes young women aged 16 to 19 who demonstrate leadership,
dedication to public service and a passion for creating positive
change in their communities. In the podcast Paulina shares what
the award means to her and emphasises how grateful she is for the
chance to demonstrate how much you can do while "just being a
student".


She is an active volunteer with several environmental and human
rights organisations, including Fridays for
Future and International Justice Mission (IJM). Among
her many achievements, she staged a play about femicides,
organised a queer art exhibition to support emerging queer
artists and advocates for women and people of colour in STEM
fields.


Stay tuned to learn more about Paulina’s inspiring projects and
her future plans. For young women eager to make a difference, the
next application deadline is 31 January 2025. Don’t miss the
chance to apply and be part of this empowering initiative!
