Each participant will be given a culture fact sheet. Have fun chatting with everyone to learn about each other’s culture and fill out the sheet!
Within each group, participants will take turns to draw a landmark from their country/region. The other participants will have to guess that landmark based on the drawing. Unleash your inner artist! If it is an especially hard guess, a few choices of landmarks will be given to help you out. After guessing, everyone will learn more about the landmark from the participants of the country where the landmark is from.
Participants can share your most controversial opinions on anything, from apples (food) to zebras (animals). Or you could go all serious and discuss why solar energy is better than nuclear energy. After all, Margaret Heffernan, an entrepreneur, CEO writer and keynote speaker once said, "For good ideas and true innovation, you need human interaction, conflict, argument and debate!"
You will have the opportunity to work in groups with students from different schools around the globe and collaborate to build booths on days 1-3. You may build informative booths showcasing cultural exchange, offer virtual products/services or set up a game booth, which should all reflect peace based on your group's results in the above games. Then, you will set up the booths in a virtual fair on day 4 and engage in a friendly competition with other teams! Teams will be judged based on the number of visitors to their booths, teamwork, value of peace shown and cultural exchange, and the winning team will be announced on day 5!
