A lecture titled 'Under the Microscope' was also held stressing on the issues that concern students as well as finding solutions. Another lecture titled 'I am a Genius' was delivered by Rover Imad Al Amiri who spoke about the importance of thinking and how to use one's talents. Among the other displays was a sketch titled 'Old Homeless' by Saleh Rahbi and Ibtisam Al Hadhrami.
On the second day, the media and arts groups presented a series of events. A discussion with Musa Al Frai, founder and general manager of Sablit Oman Forum, was the highlight of the day's show.
