Many youth are suffering from high levels of stress because of the high demands from school, wanting to make their parents proud, fit in among friends, be popular on social media, wanting to get external confirmation of that there are good enough, making time for extra activities, plan and worry for the future.

Most teens think that they are alone in this and are instead suffering in silence.

That is why we have decided to make a difference by sharing our experiences to inspire and help other families, members of the communities and youth & teenagers who are still struggling with the challenges. As a Motivational speaker, I speak about modern youth stress and how teenagers can manage school stress, family stress, social stress and personal stress. I also share with parents how they can help and support their stressed teen and how to prepare their children for future, explained Ms. Senait Tecle on her presentation.

Ms. Saba Gebregiorgis on her end, gave a presentation on some facts and figures around the mainstream education process, she eloquently explained the challenges faced and the means used to overcome them. She further underlined the key role in developing skills transfer, she said;- the previous generation have done their part and now we want to do our best to support the New Generation of the 21st century.
