The AIUB English Club, under the guidance of the Office of Student Affairs (OSA), organised its signature event, IGNITE: The Voice of Change 2025, combining workshops and competitions to nurture creativity, communication, and leadership among students.
The journey began with a preparatory workshop, "Idea to Impact," held on August 19 at the Media Studio, Annex 2, and conducted by Shihab Saqib, Assistant Professor, and Shahrina Afrin Siddique, Lecturer, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. The session focused on clarity of expression, confidence, storytelling, and audience engagement, equipping students to present innovative and socially relevant ideas.
The preliminary round, held on 20 August at Annex 3, drew 58 teams from various departments. Each team had two minutes to present before a panel of founding members and executives of the AIUB English Club. Participants explored IGNITE's four themes: technology & the future, creativity & culture, personal growth & well-being, and society & community. Based on scores, eight teams advanced to the Grand Finale.
