NUML Digital Skills Society - Insight to Action

A Small Step In Good Direction!

The first day of a semester is about exchanging new visions. On the 27th of September 2021, we were asked to define the change in our first class of the day. It took a couple of minutes to restructure words to sound concrete. The first thing that knocked our mind was the words of Mahatma Gandhi,

"Be the change that you wish to see in the world."

Considering the social changes happening around us we identified the most important issue and proposed solutions to it. Social Action Project is an ultimate course of knowledge transfer incorporating planning, leading, executing, budgeting, and documenting the nitty-gritty of the project. Including long hours of brainstorming and group discussions, it was not difficult for the six brains to concede at the topic because pandemic elevated the dire need for digital skills in the creative economy and the team members along with polishing their competencies thought to engage others as well.

NUML Digital Skills Society aims to empower youth through the development of digital skills and digital literacy in Higher Education Institutions building a sustainable digital ecosystem under SDG-4 and SDG-8.

Our strenuous efforts of four months did not go stale. It’s the time of celebration. Instead of feeling a burden, Team NUML Digital Skills Society is feeling proud of its achievements which have miraculously transformed us into more responsible and flexible human beings. The whole team pays high gratitude to the most generous supervisor ever, Dr. Athar Rashid for his constant guidance and motivation to achieve our objectives. Social Action Project was an innovative learning experience for the whole team not only improving our social and communication skills but also enhancing our problem solving and leadership attributes. The high levels of stress and anxiety diminished with every step forward towards the goals. Team NUML Digital Skills Society truly believe in the words of Nelson Mandela,

"It always seems impossible until it's done."

By far, positive feedback outnumbered the negative adding delicacy to the team and elevating the impact of the project by making it sustainable through adding more courses, meeting potential stakeholders, recruiting efficient human resources, and much more!  Charles F. Glassman explains the heartfelt feelings of the team,

"Despite our challenges, hope lies in the reality that our story does not end here."
