Sem A - Week 2

First Group Meeting & Brainstorming Session

This week was the first time we met as a team! We started with a fun and creative brainstorming session using sticky notes, where we shared ideas and came up with as many problems as possible related to youth and social cohesion. Each of us then conducted an interview with an expert who works with teenagers - such as psychologists, educators, and social workers - to better understand the challenges young people face today. From these conversations, we identified three key issues that we plan to focus on throughout our project. We also took time to get to know each other better as a team and discussed the main themes that emerged from our interviews, including pressure to fit in, fear of self-expression, and difficulties around social belonging. These insights will guide us as we move forward in designing a meaningful solution for youth and social cohesion.
