ExCEL Report 1: Muttamizh Panpaddu Vizha 2023

The Indian Cultural Fiesta, Muttamizh Panpaddu Vizha 2023, showcased a vibrant celebration of Tamil language and culture through a series of competitions. Participants, including primary, secondary, and tertiary students, engaged in various activities aimed at fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for Tamil heritage. Competitions spanned language proficiency tests, traditional art showcases, and cultural performances. This event aligns with the graduate attribute of 'Cultural Competence' in the program, as it enables students to explore and understand the rich tapestry of Indian culture, fostering an appreciation for linguistic diversity and traditions. By participating in activities that promote cultural awareness, students enhance their ability to navigate and engage with diverse communities, a crucial skill in our globally connected world.

As a member of the sponsorship department in the program, I have gained invaluable insights into the intricate dynamics of event management and resource acquisition. Collaborating with various stakeholders, I played a pivotal role in securing sponsorships to support the Indian Cultural Fiesta, Muttamizh Panpaddu Vizha 2023. This experience not only enhanced my organizational and negotiation skills but also deepened my appreciation for the importance of financial backing in executing successful cultural events. Being part of the sponsorship team allowed me to witness firsthand the impact of partnerships on the program's overall success. This experience has fuelled my interest in the intersection of cultural initiatives and corporate support, providing a foundation for future endeavours where I can contribute to fostering cultural understanding through strategic partnerships and financial stewardship.
