Description
#ReleaseThePressure - is a movement committed to give teenagers a momentary release from the stress of exam pressure and parental expectations.
Research shows frequent breaks between studies to be an effective way of releasing the pressure. Therefore Mirinda worked closely with the psychologists at Fortis Hospitals, and turned tools that add pressure into tools that release pressure. Mirinda urged students to take frequent breaks while studying to ease the pressure.
To bring alive the idea visually, Mirinda created ‘Frequent Break Notebooks’ to remind children and parents, the importance of taking frequent breaks between intense study sessions. Every 10th page had something fun, allowing students to take a break and get their mind off studies for a few minutes – to release the pressure.
Execution
Every 10th page of the notebook had something fun, allowing students to take a break and get their mind off studies for a few minutes – to release the pressure.
It included mandala coloring, origami, LOL jokes, and games that take you outdoors for a bit.
Thousands of copies were printed and distributed across education centers.
Outcome
An issue bubbling below the surface for the longest time, finally got its due acknowledgement. Mirinda not only became the voice of the teens but showed parents a beautiful way to support their kids.
