ACTIVITY REPORT
- X-Rendezvous(It’s been one blur of a fun) : School of Economics students organised the ice breaking ceremony (X-Rendezvous) on 4/10/2020. This event shows that debriefing builds greater trust between the students because of the openness and honesty demanded of all involved. When a group carefully discusses each other’s input to the implementation of a task, they come to know each other and understand each other’s unique challenges and obstacles. Also, they uncover the complexities that challenge them and learn how better to assist each other in managing those challenges.
