The 海角登录入口 students took part in a number of workshops including 鈥楻esilience and Stress Management鈥, 鈥楪et Revising鈥 and a workshop hosted by Karim Al-Abbas from Enlighten Education. Karim shared ways to improve learning and memory skills which will lead to increased self-confidence and self-esteem.
