« Leading a generation to change the world »

That is what you will first read when opening the about section of the Hult Prize website. To that extent Hult Prize at Faculty Of Science Of Sfax is a leading exemple. In fact the student organization is hosting an on campus program that spans from the21 of september to the 17 of decemberconsisting of training sessions and mini-hackathons, all in order to educate the participants in the ethics of Hult Prize.

Hult Prize is the most prestegious international competition that prompts students to solve the world’s most critical issues through social entrepreneurship. Established in 2009 by Ahmad Ashkar, a then student at Hult International Business School, Hult Prize has since been a leading exemple of  a start-up accelerator for social good, being recognized in 2012 by President Bill Clinton and Time Magazine as one of the top five ideas changing the world. Many leading organizations have been partnering and sponsoring the famed competion namely UN Office for Partnership and Earth Day Network.

2020 is not a regular year, at least for the activists out there who seek to change the world. 2020 will mark the 50th anniversary of earth day as well as the 75th of the United Nations. Given the urgency of the situation the environment is facing, this year’s challenge theme will therefore be « A Positive Impact On Our PlanetWith Every Dollar Earned ». Hult Prize at Faculty Of Science Of Sfax seems to be a stronghold of the kind of activists aforementioned. By organizing the training sessions and registered a huge number of teams (50+) consisting of 3 to 4 stundents, they hope to find the changemakers of tomorrow. It is good to note here that the Faculty Of Science Of Sfax is provides the perfects environment for such an event. In fact, through its different departments, it academically focuses on issues present in the theme, i.e evironment, as well as huge number of experts, teachers and students all willing to take their knowledge to the next step.

The Hult Prize at Faculty Of Science Of Sfax team consists of 8 members as well as a Campus Director, each devoting their time and skill to the noble cause they chose, thus ensuring a smooth and consisting curriculum for the competitors.

The application consists of mulptiple phases: General Application, Regional Summits and finally Hult Prize Accelerator. Through Hult Prize On Campus, as is organizing Hult Prize at Faculty Of Science Of Sfax this year, gives the opportunity to bypass the General Application to compete in one of the Regional Summits.

Nestled within the vibrant halls of INSAT, a legacy of cultural excellence and thriving community transcends generations . For years, the university has been the hallowed ground for numerous illustrious events, each weaving a thread in the fabric of its storied history.

Among these cherished traditions, once stood INSAT JAM Session. 

Since its inception in 2007 as CinéRadio INSAT’s unique platform for musical expression, the concert rapidly blossomed into the crown jewel of INSAT’s cultural calendar, epitomising the university’s ethos of creativity, collaboration, and celebration. 

Scores of bands once graced the stage, each impassioned performance leaving an indelible imprint on countless hearts from diverse backgrounds, fostering bonds of unity through the universal language of music.

Across twelve editions of extraordinary artistic achievement, the event has cemented its status as the proud epicentre of Tunisia’s collegiate music scene. From the fresh-faced fledgling to the seasoned veteran rockstar, each contributed to crafting a vibrant kaleidoscope of shifting emotions, and each added their own unique touch to a burgeoning legacy of musical excellence. 

Alas, in 2020,  the cherished melody of JAM Session fell silent, as the world grappled with an unprecedented pandemic, rupturing the once ethereal musical flow of the beloved concert. The absence of a once radiant beacon of creative prowess weighed heavily on the hearts of student-musicians and a fragile, oft-overlooked artistic community. Ultimately, a series of untimely circumstances perpetually delayed its triumphant return, relegating the once-celebrated tradition to a distant, fading memory.

However, the enduring spirit of JAM Session remained steadfast, quietly anticipating the moment when its melodic symphony would once again resonate with joy and unity.  And now, after more than five long years of silence, JAM Session rises from the ashes, poised to reclaim its rightful place as the pride and joy of INSAT’s cultural tapestry. 

The stage is set once again as anticipation fills the air, musicians eagerly tuning their instruments and audiences eagerly awaiting the resumption of the beloved melody. With each note, the spirit of JAM Session reignites, promising to once again captivate hearts and unite souls in a symphony of shared emotion and collective celebration.

And so, as the long-awaited rebirth draws nearer, you have the special opportunity to be a part of it. Whether you’re an artist yourself or simply a music aficionado, you can bear witness to the revival of a dormant INSAT tradition that has been five years in the making. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the magic of music, unity and creativity in its purest form and join us on April 17th, as we come together to celebrate the return of INSAT JAM Session!
