The panel discussions at the event address different topics, like the Juvenile Association at a session titled “The Conscious Decision among Youth: A Path to Prevent Risky Behaviours.” The session discusses a list of factors that affect the decision making of youth and how to build a mature way of thinking, helping them to avoid these dangerous behaviours, while highlighting the analytical skills, evaluation, and making the right decision, as well as the role of family, school, and digital content in formulating the youth awareness.
