Reflect upon the following question:
What is (your) culture?
Tandem Exercise for Week 1
Here are the questions to discuss this week:
- Describe your culture to the other person. Try to go beyond the stereotypical attributions like food, sports and music and tell each other your favourite festivity or tradition.
- What do you particularly like eating or doing that is maybe not "stereotypical" for your culture?
- What are your values? What is important to you? What do you hope for the future?
