#6 What did you learn?
As a committee we all learnt many different things! the main thing was that without good teamwork an event is difficult to organise therefore it is very important we work together to achieve the same goal. I personally learnt that successful events require great organisation skills. I hope all of these events help me in the future when organising events.
#7 How does your event benefit students?
The main aim of the events was to bring everyone together in order to raise money for a charity. Everyone did their own little part but a big thank you goes to Sihem, who as the president took the lead and did a lot of the hard work which many people will never see. She deserves credit for all of her hard work and I hope we win this award and a mention has to go to her! :)
