Project Idea 1: Students' talk

The idea of the Students' talk is to help one student get to know more about what the others in university do and learn from them.


A student will basically tell the story of his/her life - what are his/her successes until now, what is his major / occupation / intersts, hobbies / advices from personal experience / what makes him/her happy / what motivates him/her to move forward and succeed in life / passions.

The public could engage in the talk - ask questions, have dialogues with the specific student.

The event will be held at least once a month, depending on the interest and availability of the students - potentially - 2 to 3 times per month. Each talk will take about an hour. If needed, the time could always be expanded.

The students talking could be selected based on polls with student votes, or when a specific student wants to present himself/herself.

I truly believe that an event like this could bring closer the students from different faculties, help them broaden their horizons, expand their point of view, get to know more about the other students in the university and last but not least - make them more innovative and creative not just for a specific topic - but for their whole life in general. In my opinion, the Students' talk would be a life changer for many students because it would inspire them to change their life for the better in an innovative manner.


Project Idea 2: Motivation & Creativity space

The idea of the Motivation & Creativity space is to offer a place for the students to get inspiration from the others and improve their creativity, innovation and enterpreneurship skills.


The space's walls will have photos of students and their successful stories, written in about a paragraph or so. This will drastically boost their motivation - seeing what others are doing, what are his/her successes until now, what is his major / occupation / intersts, hobbies / advices from personal experience / what makes him/her happy / what motivates him/her to move forward and succeed in life / passions. The main idea behind that is to be as short and easy to read as possible, to catch the student's attention, to make others look good, to inspire him/her to follow their passion, pursue him/her dreams, etc. The Motivation & Creativity space will be equipped with basic prototyping materials, e.g. paper, clippers, etc. and furniture where the students can work on their ideas, etc.  


The space will be available for the students at any time they will need it.

The info used in the space for the students will be gathered via the university social medias.

I truly believe that an event like this could bring closer the students from different faculties, help them broaden their horizons, expand their point of view, get to know more about the other students in the university and last but not least - make them more innovative and creative not just for a specific topic - but for their whole life in general. Moreover, this space is different than the basic innovation spaces nad that is what makes it unique than all the other ones in different universities all over the world.

Project Idea 3: Coffee with a professor

The idea of Coffee with a professor is to establish a connection between the professors and students, as well as to inspire them.

Both parties will meet in the cafeteria, at around 13:00/14:00 o’clock. They will grab a cup of coffee and even lunch if they feel like it. The professors can clear up any questions the students have and give them advice be it for university or life lessons in general.

The event will be held two to three times a week, every week. The students that participate are going to be chosen at random by us. The duration of the event will be around 30-45 minutes. Funds required for the event will be sourced from the SG or University Administration.

I honestly believe that such an event will be especially helpful for the freshmen at university by inspiring them and giving them advice. It can also diversify their viewpoints about the different events happening all around campus. It will make them feel valued and give them the ability to establish a professional relationship that may be of help in the future.
