THE FIRST STUDENT'S SPEAKERS CORNER
Many students from VUB, EhB, and ULB are dedicated to making the world a better place. With this in mind, the Universitaire Associatie Brussel (UAB)—a partnership between VUB and EhB—decided to give them a platform to share their views on the issues they care about with a wider audience. The initiative, called Student's Speakers Corner, was a success from its very first edition on 3 May 2018. To the right is an impression of that edition, that took place in front of the entrance to Bozar, home venue of Difference Day.
A student's call for Speakers Corner
Each year within the VUB, EhB and ULB student communities, a call is made to students to participate in Speakers Corner during Difference Day. This is done - how could it be otherwise - by the students themselves, including by means of a video. The video on the left is the call for Difference Day 2024.
Through the Student’s Speakers Corner, students not only get the chance to speak freely in front of an audience, but they also sharpen their verbal skills. As part of the preparation, all participants receive a masterclass and a coaching session. The final result is a passionate five-minute speech delivered at Bozar, along with a shorter, 90-second version recorded in a professional studio.
