Podium comes to JU

In a world seemingly filled with problems, there are also bright minds buzzing with ideas to solve them. Most of these ideas never see the light of day due to the innovator's silence. This is where Podium, a platform where anyone can share his/her ideas, thoughts or experiences, comes in. The platform aims to bring about positive social change, personal improvement, and unity of educational institutions.

The value that it provides is twofold – idea sharing and public speaking skill sharpening. Podium is open for everyone, free of cost. The speeches are recorded as videos and the best ones are uploaded on Podium's YouTube channel.

In its effort to fulfill its vision, the platform is in the process of setting up wings at the Army Institute of Business Administration, Chittagong University, Khulna University, and Jahangirnagar University. Podium is going to be introduced to Jahangirnagar University on May 28, 2016, at 1 p.m., in its Inception Summit. A host of inspirational personalities will speak at the event, including Tajdin Hassan, Marketing Head of The Daily Star; Ishtiaq Ahmed, CEO of Omera Petroleum Ltd.; Shahana Sharmin, SocioTech Evangelist and Intrapreneur; Md. Raihan Khandker, Founder and President of Podium; and Ritun Mubtasin Kabir, Executive, Circle Foundation and Finalist of CreADdive.The summit is open for all students.
