WORDSUP 3.0-May The Foods Be Ever In Your Flavour.
Literature shouldn’t merely be a medium
to teach a language,but also a celebration of the various facets of language. A
student’s creativity need not be tested only during examinations, but should be
kindled and appreciated always. A platform to celebrate literature and enhance
creativity requires the form of a mega event. And the English Department headed
by Dr. Prema Rocha of St. Xavier’s college, Mapusa, is all set to host WODRSUP
3.0-May The Foods Be Ever In Your Flavour from 14-16 February, 2019 in the
college campus.
It is unanimously assumed that English
literature is all about Shakespeare, Milton, Yeats or Rushdie. But the English Department of St. Xavier’s
thinks beyond the horizon. While Wordsup 2.0 was styled around everyone’s
popular source of entertainment-CARTOONS, Wordsup 3.0 is geared up to provide
one with a succulent and scrumptious experience with the theme being FOOD. So
do not miss this three day banquet.
What is
Wordsup?
Wordsup is an intercollegiate event that
celebrates the English language through a series of word based competitions.
Wordsup caters to all connoisseurs of English across streams.It invites
participation from colleges within and outside Goa. Wordsup pushes one’s
creativity to its limits not only with regard to writing or reading, but also
with regard to acting, rapping, debating, painting or cooking. The food platter
involves events like Terribly Tiny Tales, Shipwrecked, Rap Battle, Treasure Hunt,
Spelling Bee, Mad ad, Casatta, Debate, Crossword and the buffet doesn’t end.
And the cherry on the cake is Writer’s Corner.
Writer’s
Corner
Wordsup is a three day event that
commences with Writer’s Corner as a curtain raiser on the first day followed by
the competitive events on the next two days. Writer’s corner acts as an apt
platform to interact with eminent authors while also providing amateur authors
and poets to present their writings before an enthusiastic audience. Writer’s
corner comprises of three sessions-the first being an interview with an
acclaimed author, the second is a panel discussion between two or more authors
on relevant topics and the third is an Open Mic where anybody can showcase
their literary talents. The previous editions of Wordsup have witnessed the
presence of eminent authors, academicians and literary enthusiasts like Jose
Lourenco, Wendell Rodricks, VivekMenezes, Jugneeta Sudan, Brian Mendonca,
Frederick Noronha, Rochelle Potkar, SafinaSaudagar and NidaSayid. This time, NanditaHaksar,
author of Flavours Of Nationalism
will be invited and she will be conversing with Research Scholar Ibha Gupta on
her book. The panel discussion will see the presence of Nolan Mascarenhas ,
Jade and Akio Fernandes.
The making of Wordsup undergoes a
rigorous preparation of six months with volunteers offering their faithful time
and service post college hours, brainstorming to make the competition appealing
and challenging. In the college too it
unites the Anglophiles of all streams and serves as an opportunity to help
students acquire the skills of cooperation, coordination and organization.
Every volunteer puts their best foot forward to provide a memorable impression.
So save the dates 14-16 February, 2019.
The mascot Wordy, the Wolf will be pleased to see maximum participation. Follow us at
