ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
Zayed University (ZU) announced the launching of the "GlobCom Symposium 2025" on May 23-24, at its Abu Dhabi campus. The event will bring together nine student teams from 14 universities across 13 countries to contend in a global strategic communications competition focused on conservation and biodiversity.
Held in collaboration with Panthera, a global organisation devoted to the conservation of the world’s 40 wild cat species, and the Global Communication Institute (GlobCom), an international academic platform empowering future public relations professionals, this year’s symposium will explore the theme “Game On: Interactive Campaigns for Biodiversity.”
The student teams, who have been working together virtually across borders for the past two and a half months, will now come together in person to present their proposals to Panthera, showcasing how gamification can be leveraged to promote conservation awareness and engage global audiences.
The two-day programme will feature mentorship sessions, keynote speeches, panel discussions with experts in biodiversity, communications, and youth engagement, concluding with a gala dinner and the announcement of the winning student team on Saturday, May 24, 2025.
Hosting the event reflects the University’s commitment to global collaboration, experiential learning, and equipping students to tackle real-world challenges through innovative and strategic communication.
