It gives participants a chance to explore new ideas, connect with enlightening experiences, and helps build a community that can express their thoughts with confidence and awareness. This reflects our commitment to supporting ongoing education as an essential part of both institutional and social growth." Addressing real-life issues The session also tackled the serious issue of bullying, discussing what it is and why it occurs. Participants considered whether bullying is something we learn from others or if it's part of who we are, and they proposed practical ways to combat this problem. Additionally, they examined the topic of people-pleasing, looking into why some individuals feel the need to constantly seek approval from others, its effects, and when it's okay to say "no." They offered useful strategies for breaking away from this habit.
