Hundred teams on the R.O plant, each comprising of 2 members! There weren’t any singers, dancers or performers. Wondering how anyone could pull this off in the era where music over powers any literary or as they call it “serious” event? Ask Lingua Franca!
Graffi-T is what we call it. The idea is to add an element of fun to the cliché slogan writing competition. We provided a plain white T-shirt, water colors, paintbrush, newspaper and cotton to all the teams. A time of one hour was given to them in which they had to come up with an original slogan on the following topics-
1. Corruption
2. Expressions
3. Incredible India
4. Nature
The topics were displayed in college two days prior to the event so that participants would get time to think of the slogan well in advance.
There was enthusiasm among the students even before the topics were displayed! People often would talk about it with Lingua France members enquiring when we were planning to conduct the event. Once the topics were displayed, Graffi-T became the talk of the town!
The event started at 4:00 pm. Most of the registrations were done in the boy’s and girl’s hostel. An on-the-spot registration desk was set up as well. Two registration desks were set up for material distribution and this was being managed by the second year, Lingua Franca members. The ambience was electric with discussions of the various teams about how to go about implementing their ideas and colors and T-shirts spread on the periphery of the R.O plant. Participants ranged from first year to fourth year and there were students of B.Tech, BBA and BCA.
Graffi-T turned out to be a huge success! We are expecting students to participate with the same enthusiasm, in the various interesting events that will be organized in the next semester.
