Intercultural Evening

 

During a special evening we will share characteristics from our culture. We ask you to bring foods and drinks to share! You can also think of some other things to share with the group from your culture: stories, dances / songs etc. In case you play an instrument, it might be very nice to bring it. Just no power point presentation or country promotion videos, as it would be the best if you can share something in your own words! By the way, to present something from your culture does not mean it has to be something from your country: it can also be from a region, a city etc.  
 
Homework and Daily Program

 

Two weeks before the Training Course we will send you a small homework to complete in your Country group. The Daily program will be also sent after the homework.
