Community Open Day 2024 Highlights

25 November, 2024

On Wednesday, October 30, the Community Open Day, hosted by Campus and Community (C&C), brought over 1,000 KAUST residents together for an evening of connection, discovery, and entertainment at Discovery Square. 

 

The event offered attendees the chance to explore the many services, clubs, and resources available to them through engaging booths and interactive displays. The community painted murals, learned about sustainability efforts, enjoyed live cooking shows by Tamimi, and connected with local artisans offering crafts, food, and unique items. 

 

Kids enjoyed fun activities like Lego building, coloring, and exploring mini tractors, while adults discovered new services, enjoyed food samples, and picked up discount vouchers. 

 

The night came alive with fantastic performances by the Music Club, a high-energy flashmob and dance routines from the Movement Club, and lively beats from the Ministry of DJs Club, creating a festive and engaging atmosphere. The event concluded with a Kahoot Quiz featuring exciting prizes like bikes, scooters, and car rentals. 

 

 

We thank all the departments, community, and volunteers whose hard work made this event a tremendous success.
