VOLUNTEERING

Organization: Radio HSF

Role: Radio Show Host

Period: April 2023 - Present 

Radio HSF stands for "Hochschulradio für Studierende Ilmenau" in German, which translates to "University Radio for Students Ilmenau" in English. It is the campus radio station of Technische Universität Ilmenau (TU Ilmenau), a technical university located in Ilmenau, Thuringia, Germany. 

I host "International", an engaging radio show dedicated to unraveling the fascinating tapestry of cultural diversity within the university community. The show invites international students to share their unique experiences, providing a platform for insightful conversations that delve into the nuances of their lives in Germany. From personal anecdotes to cultural revelations, "International" seeks to bridge cultural gaps and create a vibrant space where listeners can gain a deeper understanding of the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of their fellow students. 

Through these enriching conversations, the show not only celebrates the multicultural essence of TU Ilmenau but also fosters a sense of connection and community among its international student body.

Role: Groupleader

Period: Jan 2023 - Jun 2023

As the Groupleader for the Media Group during ISWI 2023, my leadership journey was particularly enriched by our group's diverse and vibrant composition. Hailing from countries like Kazakhstan, Thailand, Turkey, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Italy, and Bangladesh, our group resembled a beautiful patchwork quilt, creating a wonderfully dynamic atmosphere filled with intercultural exchange.

Focusing on the "impact of AI in media production and consumption," our group engaged in thrilling and profound discussions, mirroring the depth seen in other group works. We also delved into action by planning a fascinating "test" involving students from TU Ilmenau and ISWI participants. In this unique activity, participants were challenged to discern between a product of human creativity and an AI-generated masterpiece—a high-tech twist on the classic game of spot the difference.

The results were interesting. To showcase this venture, we presented the findings in a catchy Vox Pop video format unveiled during the conference closing ceremony, adding a fun and innovative dimension to the overall ISWI 2023 experience.
