โ€œMULATโ€ (which means โ€˜awakeningโ€™ in English) is an initiative of The Bedan to encourage students and not just student-journalists to propel maximum student inclusion and at the same time, promote duties and responsibilities of student activism.

The Bedan envisions a society that would encourage a well-founded political discourse with arguments based on facts and not just mere hear-says or what we should most appropriately refer to as โ€˜postsโ€™ considering our generation today. With that vision, โ€œMULATโ€ was crafted and will continue its legacy.

In light of this, students from high school to college-level are encouraged to join the event.

There is no limit as to the number of delegates.
