camaraderie and team spirit.
The ice-breaking sessions played a pivotal role in creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.

fun and interactive manner. This helped break initial barriers and encouraged open communication.

interests, and expectations from the NSS. This facilitated a deeper understanding of each other and
promoted diversity within the group.
3. *Team-building Exercises:* Collaborative activities were organized to promote teamwork and
problem-solving skills. These exercises not only encouraged interaction but also instilled a sense of
collective responsibility among the participants.

their peers after the ice-breaking sessions.

skills among participants, fostering an environment where everyone felt heard and understood.
