In a step that reflects the active and proactive spirit of youth in building an interconnected and tolerant society, a group of young men and women in the Shikhan district implemented a series of awareness sessions in 6 local schools. This initiative comes within the framework of the ongoing efforts to promote the values of tolerance and mutual respect among different segments of society, especially between young people and students.

The young volunteers started these awareness sessions in the last week of April 2024, where they delivered lectures and engaging discussions to students in schools in the Shikhan district. The lectures focused on the importance of peaceful coexistence and respecting others, aiming to encourage students to adopt these noble values and embody them in their daily lives.

The volunteers expressed their happiness with the positive interaction that the awareness sessions received from the students, as they showed interest and effective responses to the topics discussed. These efforts are part of community initiatives aimed at instilling a culture of peaceful coexistence and tolerance in the minds of young people, as they are the future leaders and builders of more tolerant and harmonious societies.

School administrations praised the efforts of the young volunteers and emphasized the importance of such initiatives in building an aware and responsible generation that contributes effectively to building a more cohesive and cooperative society.

It is worth noting that these awareness sessions are part of a broader context of education and awareness-raising in the region, where lectures were organized in schools in the Shikhan district in collaboration with the city center, the village of Eisyan, and the Baadra district. These initiatives have been widely welcomed by the local community, and positive results have been achieved that reflect the noble and positive spirit of these efforts, including the students' engagement with the importance of peaceful coexistence.

With this remarkable achievement, the youth of the Shikhan district are setting an example to be followed in their commitment to building an interconnected and tolerant society, deserving of appreciation and encouragement to continue their noble efforts towards promoting the values of peace and coexistence in their beloved community and country."
