IIHM Bengaluru students explore creativity, communication and sustainability through skills
Students at the International Institute of Hotel Management in Bengaluru took part in fun learning activities.
The programme was called 'Skill Thrill Gen Z'.
They practised creativity, clear communication, teamwork and caring for the environment.
In one activity, students had to present an idea in just two minutes.
Another activity asked them to make short videos about hospitality ideas.
First-year students played a debate game about choosing three items to bring to a desert island.
They had to explain and defend why they chose those items.
Students also made posters about making hotels and classrooms more sustainable.
They talked about good jobs, quality education and caring for the planet.
These activities helped them connect what they learn in class to real-world situations.
IIHM Bengaluru students took part in skill-based activities under the theme 'Skill Thrill Gen Z', covering creativity, critical thinking, communication, teamwork and sustainability.
The 'Scratch Up Pitch' challenged students to present an idea within two minutes, requiring them to structure and communicate their thoughts effectively.
