[Connect]
The goal of the "Connect Workshop" is to create connections among youth who are working on social issues and to enhance the motivation of participants towards their contributions to the society.
Although participants may have different awareness of various issues, by sharing their emotions related to social challenges and their respective good practices, we hope to foster a sense of solidarity and camaraderie among them.
Additionally, there will be time for participants to briefly explain their activities.
