The keynote address and a formative, enrichment and interactive session followed, giving the students an opportunity to reflect on the theme and to interact with youth from other institutions.

The second day began with prayer at 9:00 AM, followed by a resource session and the competitions. Seven students from the VIII and VI semesters took part in the group dance, and Ms. Ann Theres of VI semester took part in the drawing competition.
