Moving away from stereotypical notions of romance, the session introduced students to a broader and more meaningful understanding of love. Through interactive activities and open dialogue, the speaker highlighted that love extends beyond personal relationships and encompasses respect for one’s country, community, teachers and peers.

The session focused strongly on universal values and unity. Students were encouraged to develop emotional management skills, practice good manners and etiquette, and cultivate integrity in daily life. The emphasis remained on equipping teenagers with life skills that promote empathy, togetherness and personal responsibility.

The impact of the session was clearly visible, with students actively participating and responding positively to the discussions. Faculty members expressed their appreciation to JCI Panaji, noting that the session presented a much-needed perspective on emotional development for today’s youth. Encouraged by the response, the school has requested more such initiatives to support holistic character-building among students.

The programme reinforced the idea that nurturing a deeper, value-based understanding of love prepares young individuals to lead lives rooted in empathy, respect and universal harmony.

The initiative was supported by the leadership of JCI Panaji, including JFM Srushti Nagvekar (President), JC Sudesh Salgaonkar (Secretary), JC Runal Kerkar (Project Director) and JC Bhuushan Joshi (Vice President – Training).
