The Indian Institute of Technology Madras will conduct a social-awareness festival to celebrate happiness this weekend.
Sawera will include events that will be held on and off campus in the city. The students from the International and Alumni Relations body are organising jam sessions, donation drive, a run and other fun events. The students will donate to families from disadvantaged families in the city’s slums. The festival is a collective quest to build a space for individuals to converge and share their stories, dreams and happiness, an institute release said.
On Saturday, a run for happiness on the campus called ‘joy of running’ will be held. There will be a fun treasure hunt combined with fundraising. The jam session will have storytelling, poetry, an ‘open mike’ session and group jamming.
