Low self-esteem is a big problem for many young people today. It affects how we feel about ourselves, how we do at school, how we get along with friends, and even how we see our future. Some young people face constant criticism or high pressure at school or at home, which can make them doubt themselves or become defensive, sometimes even acting out as bullies. Others grow up without much guidance, which can make them overconfident but unprepared for challenges or understanding other people. These problems are even harder for teens who come from difficult socio-economic backgrounds, struggle with language, or face challenges in learning. In our group, we’ve seen this up close. One participant struggles to finish tasks because of low confidence, another finds it hard to share ideas because of speech difficulties, and another is learning to take on leadership despite insecurities. These personal stories show that self-esteem isn’t just an individual issue—it affects friendships, teamwork, and the wider community. Through this project, we want to help young people reflect on these challenges and find ways to cope. In our workshops, participants will share their experiences, talk about their feelings, and start understanding where self-esteem issues come from. They will express themselves through art and creative storytelling, turning personal experiences into pieces that others can see and relate to. The project will result in an exhibition where each art piece tells a story, includes facts or statistics, and gives advice or useful resources. During the exhibition, participants will lead panel discussions, sharing what they’ve learned and encouraging conversations about self-esteem. Beyond this, they will share their work and experiences with local media, schools, youth centers, and NGOs, helping others understand the importance of self-esteem and how to support each other.
