Imagine feeling frustrated in your own faculty not knowing how to solve a problem or issue that affects you personally. This is how all the students of the Faculty of Education had felt for years, not having anyone to represent them and give them a voice. That is, until MAKE was founded earlier this year!
After years of student inactivity within the Faculty of Education, Nicola Kirkpatrick and Ezekiel Xuereb wanted students to be given a voice once again. Having experienced the same futility as students themselves, “MAKE’s main intentions are always that of allowing students concerns to be heard and hopefully resolved,” said Ezekiel Xuereb, Secretary General. Thus, the Malta Association for Knowledge and Education was formed.
MAKE is already proving itself as a genuine link between faculty and student, having already aired two separate issues on behalf of two student groups. That said, they have a brimming agenda promising more student engagement this coming scholastic year. Their Freshers’ Week stand in particular is an excellent opportunity for students to meet and get to know who will be representing them!
Freshers’ Week is just the start however. “The faculty’s first ever Fresher’s Party is set to take place October 12th and Zumba for Pink October on 19th October,” said Ezekiel. “We are also planning something for Halloween and a stationary drive for charity in order to give back to the community.”
Excited to know what else does the future hold for MAKE? You can visit them at their stand this Freshers Week for more information, as well as snacks, sweets and freebies for interested members. Also, if the Freshers’ Party got you excited, you’re in luck – tickets for it can be won at their stand too!
Don’t feel frustrated. MAKE your change.
