• Environmental initiatives: Youth actively engaged in cleaning urban areas, learned to sort waste, and collected batteries and bottle caps for recycling.
• Social responsibility: Participants learned sign language, showed care for others, promoted a healthy lifestyle within their communities, and informed audiences about worthwhile charitable initiatives to join.
• Self-development and leadership: Young people shared their projects aimed at fostering youth leadership and self-realization.

Over 21 days, marathon participants demonstrated a high level of social responsibility and active citizenship.

Through the marathon, young people learned how to organize and conduct events, work in teams, communicate effectively with diverse groups, and address social challenges.
