The closing event of “Rise with Love, Shine with Confidence,” a winning project of the 9th grant competition on Development and Innovation in Education held by the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan, took place in a positive atmosphere.

Over six months, a series of training sessions on emotional intelligence and therapeutic stories was conducted to develop students’ emotional intelligence, self-awareness, empathy, communication skills and self-confidence. Interactive sessions and practical activities contributed significantly to the participants’ individual and social development.

Representatives of the Ministry of Science and Education, Baku State University, Azerbaijan University of Languages and non-governmental organisations attended the closing event. The achievements gained during the project were presented, and appreciation was expressed to the partners, psychologists, teachers and BMTK administration who contributed to its implementation.

The knowledge and skills acquired through the project are expected to support the children’s development into healthier, happier and more self-confident individuals.
