Miljan Scekic, is an honoured ambassador for PL9.

He is a First-Class Chemistry graduate from the University of Kent and is currently assisting in the management of a small logistics and transport business while also studying an online module for the purpose of becoming a chemical data analyst.

Miljan is strongly passionate “about things that are united under the commonality of compassion and service to others, especially those who need it most. I believe that in order to build a brighter future, we must begin with educating the younger generations.”

He believes that reforming the education system could facilitate prosperity and growth in the younger generations. “In order for us to be in a teachable position as such, we must do our best as individuals to become as knowledgeable and capable as possible in subject matters that are of critical importance for our own personal success, so that we can slowly, but surely, guide the world to a better tomorrow.”

Miljan’s involvement in PL9 and the Youth Community Impacts Awards, came about through the loss of Philip Lamin, when Philip’s Mother, Juliet Lamin, courageously organised an after-school forum for the youth, where people of all backgrounds could come and listen or take part in various discussions ranging from knife crime and policing issues to religion, faith and forgiveness.

“The lessons I learned while at PL9 are of great sentimental value to me, and will remain with me for as long as I can think.”

As these debates served to find solutions to the issues youths are facing today in the UK, Miljan realised that they aligned with many of his core principles and beliefs. It made him keenly attracted to the opportunity of being a part of something humble and dignifying as PL9.
