On Thursday, 25 April 2024, Youth of the Ummah (YOU) and Guideline Counselling, both projects of the Darul Ihsan Humanitarian Centre hosted a learner awareness event at the Orient Islamic School.

Two programs were run simultaneously, one for boys and the other for the girls, focusing on selected topics all attuned to empower and guide the leaders of tomorrow.

Topics such as the scourge of LGBTQ+ and our Muslim Identity were discussed. Learners were encouraged to cut down screen time, be wary of the content of “children's programs” especially the marvel characters and choosing good company. Additionally, the importance of identity, value of learning, trends, self-care and the sharpening of soft skills was also discussed.

The attendees showed great interest in the topics and themes and enjoyed the relevance of it to common youth challenges.
