The University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST) held its "Clubs Festival," an interactive event designed to showcase the university's vibrant student life, providing students with an engaging platform to explore their passions, discover new hobbies, and become more involved in the enriching campus community.
The festival celebrated the diverse talents and passions of students while reinforcing the university's commitment to holistic development. Through the promotion of active participation in extracurricular activities, UDST has established a dynamic campus environment that nurtures both personal and academic growth, setting students up for future success.
This year's festival took on a vibrant new theme sustainability. In a spectacular display of creativity and commitment to environmental stewardship, students were encouraged to design their club booths using recycled materials, a challenge they embraced with enthusiasm and innovation.
Aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Qatar Vision 2030, the festival served as a dynamic platform for students to demonstrate how small actions can lead to substantial impacts.
The theme not only showcased the clubs' ingenuity but also highlighted the university's dedication to fostering a culture of sustainability across campus.
With over 32 clubs on display, each club presented an engaging booth, highlighting the diverse activities they offered, from photography and art to anime and filmmaking.
The "Clubs Festival" significantly contributed to developing a supportive and inclusive campus culture at UDST by creating opportunities for expression and community building.
A standout aspect and cornerstone of the festival is its "by students, for students" approach, a concept promoted by the Student Engagement Department. It empowers students to take charge of managing their club booths, allowing them to display their leadership skills and inventive ideas.
On another note, UDST has also opened the Student Clubs Hub, a dedicated space for students to continuously showcase their talents, collaborate on projects, and engage with the university's vibrant community beyond the festival. (QNA)
