Our Project:
We have two main directions. The first one is the setting up of memo walls in classrooms. Students can feel free to write some words about their recent struggles or things they would love to share on the walls. They are welcome to share their happiness as well as worries. The second one is the regular update on Instagram. We would have some Q&A about the topic of mental health and love to see the responds from repliers.
