Fun and Music: More than 100 People Participate in Wittenborg’s Karaoke Night

Event Gives Participants Chance to Relax and Socialise

The Wittenborg community had the opportunity to experience moments of fun, friendship and joy during the school’s Karaoke Night on 24 April. Held at Teun Apeldoorn, from 18:00 to 20:00, the event was attended by 110 people including students, their family members and Wittenborg staff. 

The purpose of the activity was to bring people together for an evening of relaxation and socialisation. According to External Relations and Events Assistant Ava Mehrani, even though people were initially shy, they gradually opened up and the event was a success.  

“To help break the ice, I decided to sing the first two songs, and I sang them so badly that it actually made everyone realise it couldn’t get any worse! After that, people became more relaxed and started coming forward to sing. By the end of the night, we even played some traditional music, especially Indian and Iranian songs, and everyone danced together with so much energy and happiness. It really turned into a beautiful, joyful celebration where everyone felt comfortable and connected,” she commented.  

International Business Administration (IBA) student Sixuan Zhang said that the event’s atmosphere was great. “I didn’t sing but my girlfriend attended it with me and she’s an amazing singer, so she sang ‘Girl’ by Dutch singer Anouk. I’d love to have more events like this in the future. These are special, bonding moments that the community gets to have, when people can kick back and meet each other. It’s really nice.”
