Pecha Kucha Evening November 2023
Pecha Kucha is a visual storytelling format where the speaker tells a story using only 20 images, with 20 seconds to talk about each image. It's designed to be a rapid-fire and fun format, with each talk lasting around six minutes.
The theme for this evening was “Creativity” and our speakers shared memories of their childhood as well as how they are reminded to be playful in their academic and life discoveries. Our modern world places emphasis on hard work and determination, but it is equally important to find things we love doing and to have fun in our daily lives. Speakers included staff, undergraduate and postgraduate students. Light refreshments were served to enable speakers and attendees to network.
