The Student’s Affairs Committee of CCBA organized a week long i.e. from 15th to 19th of April 2018, Indoor Games event termed as Maffick for the students of CCBA, Dhofar University only.

Maffick in English dictionary means “to celebrate with extravagant public demonstrations” or “to celebrate extravagantly and publicly”. The pronunciation is a blend of Arabic word MAHFIL and English word TERRIFIC. Corresponds to a Terrific Mahfil
The event has been designed to nurture the scientific and logical skill development, as they will learn to reason, negotiate and problem solving.

Such activities are trend setters so that our students may develop confidence and risk taking capabilities through competence.

One important benefit of playing indoor games is that it increases attention span. Through indoor games, students can learn to: grab attention, honor the rules, take their turns, outcome predictor, be considerate, critical thinking, be imaginative, social bonding and fore see the consequences. Which will directly nurture the ability to be successful in academics, personal and professional world.

Maffick induces creativity, competitive mentality and physical endurance in our students and colleagues.

Creativity:

With cutting edge competition in the professional world creativity becomes an important tool to be introduced to our students and we should encourage them to be more creative and originally imaginative towards their approach to problem solving
