Through workshops and awareness campaigns, the project aimed to develop a sense of security among students and make them aware of the value of self-care. The goal was to provide students with new ideas to communicate and educate each other. Teaching the basics of citizenship and social peace is a major component of the project. Over 120 students participated in the campaign.
