Empowering Futures: Youth Engagement Session

Ek Tara organized a lively Youth Engagement Session aimed at helping students contemplate their interests, boost their confidence, and start considering careers with purpose and intention.

The session kicked off with a friendly welcome, followed by a fun icebreaker where students from various schools shared their interests—especially in food, travel, and friendship—emphasizing common values and connections.

A creative notebook activity promoted self-expression, allowing students to design covers that represented their dreams and identities. A group reflection on why many adhered to a template sparked honest conversations about fear, originality, and the significance of independent thinking.

The core of the session was a group discussion centered on career and passion. Students delved into the concept of selecting professions not solely for financial gain, but for personal satisfaction. This challenged societal expectations and inspired participants to envision futures where they are self-assured, financially independent, and proud of their chosen paths.
