The program focused on creating open dialogue and awareness among adolescents regarding puberty, physical and mental health, and reproductive health (SRHR). It provided a safe and inclusive platform where young participants actively engaged in discussions, shared personal experiences, and learned essential life skills.

The session was presided over by Project Officer Ms. Resmina Haque and moderated by Youth Officer Mr. Md. Ershad Mia, who began the program with greetings and an introduction to the day’s agenda. The opening session highlighted the importance of adolescent health awareness and breaking social taboos surrounding sensitive topics.

In the first interactive session, mentor Jui discussed puberty-related health awareness and common misconceptions. This was followed by a creative “Myth vs Fact” activity, designed to encourage critical thinking and participation among adolescents. Through active engagement, participants openly shared their thoughts and experiences, reflecting a positive transformation in their confidence and awareness levels.

A special segment allowed adolescent girls to share their experiences of their first menstruation. Divided into groups such as “Kathgolap” and “Rojonigondha,” participants expressed emotional and personal experiences, including fear, confusion, and lack of awareness at the early stage. This open sharing helped them understand that menstruation is a natural biological process, helping to remove fear, stigma, and misinformation.

The program also included discussions on the importance of friendship during adolescence, responsible friend selection, social and emotional development, and the negative impacts of child marriage. These sessions encouraged participants to build self-confidence and develop a positive mindset for their future.

In the health education segment, mentor Pravath Das explained the importance of a balanced diet, nutrition, and essential food groups using visual charts. Participants gained practical knowledge about healthy eating habits and understood the importance of proper nutrition during adolescence.

To make the program more engaging, a quiz competition was organized, followed by cultural performances. Participant Chandni recited the poem “Nari” by Kazi Nazrul Islam, and participant Nilufa performed a solo song, adding a cultural and emotional touch to the event.

In the closing session, Project Officer Ms. Resmina Haque emphasized the importance of continuous awareness on adolescent physical changes, nutrition, and social issues such as child marriage. She also distributed prizes among quiz winners and expressed gratitude to all participants, mentors, and organizers for making the event successful.

Overall, the program successfully created an impactful learning environment, empowering adolescents with knowledge, confidence, and awareness to build a healthier and more informed future generation.
