Despite the small group size, the session provided a personalized and interactive experience. The limited number of participants allowed for one-on-one engagement and tailored guidance, ensuring that each individual received focused support.

Participants demonstrated a strong willingness to engage and shared personal experiences that enriched the learning process. Feedback collected at the end of the session indicated that the participants felt more confident in handling daily life situations and appreciated the practical nature of the topics discussed.
