Additionally, the program included interactive tasks and practical exercises aimed at enhancing teamwork, self-presentation skills, confident communication, and the ability to find common ground with diverse individuals.

The active participation of students, their engagement, and openness in discussions contributed to the creation of an atmosphere of mutual understanding, support, and trust. Participants shared personal experiences, voiced their concerns, and received feedback from both the facilitators and their peers.

As a result of the event, students not only broadened their understanding of professional adaptation mechanisms but also acquired practical tools and useful strategies that will help them navigate university life with greater confidence and build their professional future more consciously.
