Designed around the theme\u00a0&#8220;Engage and Interact&#8221;, the event provided a welcoming and low-pressure platform for students to\u00a0showcase\u00a0their talents while strengthening campus engagement.\u00a0<\/p><p>Held across four weekly sessions, Open Mic 2026 featured a wide range of performances that reflected the creativity and diversity of the student community. From popular piano renditions and vocal performances to storytelling,\u00a0humour, and cultural showcases, students embraced the opportunity to express themselves in their own unique ways. Each session featured multiple performances, supported by emcees and intermission music that helped create an enjoyable and lively atmosphere.\u00a0<\/p><p>The event successfully\u00a0demonstrated\u00a0that talent exists throughout the campus and that providing an accessible and supportive environment can encourage students to share their abilities with confidence. Performers were given the freedom to express themselves without judgement, creating a positive space that celebrated individuality, creativity, and self-expression.\u00a0<\/p><p>Behind the scenes, Open Mic 2026 also provided valuable learning opportunities for the\u00a0organising\u00a0committee. The dynamic nature of the\u00a0programme\u00a0required\u00a0organisers\u00a0to respond quickly to technical challenges,\u00a0special performance\u00a0requirements, and last-minute changes. These experiences strengthened teamwork, adaptability, communication, and event management skills among SRC members.\u00a0<\/p><p>The success of Open Mic 2026 reinforced the importance of accessibility, engagement, and open communication in student activities. More importantly, it contributed to a vibrant campus culture where students felt encouraged to\u00a0participate, interact, and connect with one another.\u00a0<\/p><p>The event concluded on a high note, building excitement for the upcoming\u00a0DISTED Got Talent 2026, where students will once again have the opportunity to shine on a bigger stage.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Isabelle\u00a0<\/strong><br
