RSVP
Please RSVP through the form linked here by Friday, April 1st to attend the event and hear the speakers’ ideas about media, and their response to “What should media mean to us?” The event is open to all UBC students.
As a UBC Bachelor of Media Studies (BMS) student, you are inquisitive and passionate about media, and learn and understand the impact of media in our society through interdisciplinary studies in media. You are media makers, artists, theorists, and thinkers with your own unique perspectives.
As such, the BMS program is very excited to announce that we've organized the inaugural M-DEA Talk: UBC Bachelor of Media Studies Public Speaking Competition event on April 6, 2022 (6pm - 8pm PST)At M-DEA Talk, we invite students to share a 4 minute to six minute speech about “What should Media mean to us?” This broader topic allows you to interpret and speak to it in your own way.
It could be at a personal level (eg: personal stories, course work, experiences, interests, hobbies etc.), and/or at a societal and world level. For example, are you a filmmaker, music maker, or creative writer? What are the topics or issues that you express, and matter to you? Or, did you learn about/discover an interesting finding in your academic studies that you’d like to share?
M-DEA Talk is a unique opportunity for you to share what you’re passionate about to a greater audience. As we know that we have students who study and practice multimedia formats, Speakers have the option to incorporate visual elements such as images and videos in their speech!
A year-end celebration of students' learning, this event will bring together BMS students of all year-levels, and speech contestants will have the exciting opportunity to compete for the First, Second, and Third Place Prizes!
As the BMS program is interdisciplinary, and students study and practice multimedia formats, Contestants have the option to incorporate visual elements that can be projected on a screen in their speech.
This includes:
- Images
- Videos (Contestants can include up to a maximum of 2 minutes of video content throughout their speech)For more information about M-DEA Talk, visit our event page here.
