Festember 18 begins with social initiative

Students of National Institute of Technology - Tiruchi (NITT) started off their celebration of Festember 18, their annual cultural festival, by carrying out a social initiative titled 'Channeled Clarity Towards Charity', an inter-school literature event, at Akara World School, on Saturday.

Students of classes VI to XI were engaged in several activities including spellathon, poster designing, courtroom clash, writer's block, green olympiad, pixtempore, thespians and quiz.

Spellathon was a spelling bee contest in which students of lower classes performed better than their seniors.

The uniqueness of the poster competition was that the students had to choose a topic and depict positive and negative aspects on two sides.

The topics ranged from 'traditional and modern life' to 'Independent digital India'.

Likewise, in Courtroom Clash, students had to speak both for and against the topic given to them. The topics for creative writing included floods, heart, rainbow, chocolate, dolphin and umbrella.

The students were required to write 200 words in 45 minutes.

Expectedly, the green olympiad pertained to questions on environment. Pixtempore required students to speak on pictures shown to them on stage for two to three minutes.

Thespians introduced students to conceptualisation of product-related advertisements.

All students were given certificates at the end, according to the organisers.
