The session itself encompassed a range of crucial topics, including gender sensitization and human rights. A significant emphasis was placed on the importance of inclusivity in cultivating a truly equitable society. Leveraging engaging methods such as group dynamics, role-playing, advertising analysis, and group discussions, the students were led on a journey of awareness.
This interactive approach allowed the participants to delve deep into the prevalent discrimination that individuals face on a daily basis. Moreover, they gained insights into their own rights and responsibilities as members of society. The session served as an eye-opener, fostering a greater understanding of the social issues that persist and empowering the students to become catalysts for positive change.
