Together, we will explore various topics related to self-esteem, empathy, and empowerment. Learners will learn self-reflection techniques, and strategies for building self-confidence, self-worth, and resilience. We will also dive into the importance of empathetic listening, understanding different perspectives, and cultivating compassion for oneself and others.

In addition, learners will learn conflict resolution techniques, and how to be assertive without being aggressive both in personal and academic settings. The power of resilience and the impact of positive self-image and more will be discussed!

You will find inclusivity, respect, and support. This will allow every learner to feel safe to express themselves authentically while learning from diverse perspectives. It encourages active participation, collaboration, and cameras on at all times to promote mutual growth and understanding.
