MSA University - Creativity & Activity Club

 

1. About:

Gathering creative students to explore and reveal their talents, and to get the chance to exhibit their work sounds like a good idea, So The Creativity and Activity Club—founded in 2019 in MSA University—aims to bring different students together under the umbrella of art, where talented students are encouraged to unleash their skills and share them with others who have similar interests. College days can be a lot more than mere studying hours and attending lectures. Since the university is an excellent place to meet people of every kind, and who can do almost anything, it would be great to take an advantage of those assets before graduating. Making time for extracurricular activities can be a tough job that this club would make a lot easier. That happens when it brings people with passion together, sharing time and place and their love for a specific form art. These arts could include just anything; from painting and sketching to baking, cooking, graphic design, costume-making, makeup, photography, writing, and a lot more.

2. Vision:

The Club is a pioneer of creative activities and his members are the best among Egyptian Universities with their ability to professionalize their talents.

3. Mission:

Establishing a community that encourages students to participate in extracurricular activities where they can display their work and teach others their skills.

4. Objectives:

The Creativity and Activity Club works to establish a creative community within the campus, where people with different talents meet and display their work, extending the platform of those who already have audience and helping others who never got the chance so that their work can finally see the light of day. However, it does not stop there; students are also encouraged to teach their skills to others. So it is more rewarding—seeing one’s work and experience benefitting others. Students learning from students, while all sharing the same passion for something would create a positive learning medium where everyone is always motivated since they feel their effective roles and sensing how they are part of the whole thing, and where everyone is always learning something new. Another bonus point is students being able to sell the outcome products in bazaars held on campus, gaining a tangible income from their very own work of hand.

8. Academic Strategy:

We are going to work hand in hand with the center of excellence (entrepreneurship hub) as well as other student activities to promote the social entrepreneurship and Egypt’s 2030 vision as well as the UN 2030 agenda among students. Hult prize on-campus program main goal is to prepare and allow students to compete with their startups internationally throughout a journey that allows them to gain funds along the way so they can maximize the impact of their startups Having teams from MSA joining Hult prize will indeed help MSA maintaining their position as a beacon of change not only nationally but also internationally. Hosting an on-campus program automatically makes us in MSA recognized internationally as change makers so just imagine the publicity and reputation that we will gain just if we introduced the next generation of social entrepreneurs! We will start our recruitment for the participants as soon as the fall semester starts and during the 2 weeks for recruitment we will make some introductory sessions about the entrepreneurship. After the recruitment we will start our sessions weekly except for the mid-term weeks till our final competition which will be held before 15th of December when it suits the university timeline and the readiness of our participants Throughout the sessions we will tackle different topics all related to entrepreneurship to make our participants well equipped to compete and pitch their ideas
