About the Topic
Adolescence often becomes a battleground for self-esteem as appearance-based labels lead to profound impacts on mental well-being. Beyond mere mockery, these labels shape identities and can lead to long-term struggles. Recognizing and addressing this issue is vital for fostering an environment where every teenager can navigate their journey without the weight of damaging stereotypes.
Project Description
"UNLABEL" wasn't just a final-year project; it was a comprehensive social workshop developed in collaboration with schools, educators, counselors, psychologists, and parents. This initiative aimed to uplift teenagers' self-esteem by providing specialized toolkits featuring engaging activities. Complemented by an impactful video and awareness-spreading posters, it was a holistic campaign.
