A coin for a thought

On 13th of December 2018 which is the last day of this semester for GNCT lecture our lecturer gave us a different but very important activity. First of all our lecturer collected a coin from each one of us and the coins were put into a purse. Then our lecturer explained the activity.

Then the purse was rotated through the class and the moment where our lecturer tapped the table, the person with the purse had to takeout a coin and he had to say the year that was printed on the coin. Thereafter the person with the coin had to tell his or her memories that related to that year. This was very entertaining.

 


The session was going awesome. My fellow mates brought out their remarkable memories when they got the chance to present their memories. Those were very funny and some are very interesting.



Unfortunately I haven't got the chance in this time. But I enjoyed this session by listening to my friends' stories.

So the last session for first year was ended by this activity and all those sessions gave us valuable lessons and good precious memories. So all these sessions were awesome.

Culture

First, we were divided in to 2 groups and we were given a new type of challenge. The challenge was focusing the theme Culture, and each team had to create their own culture which includes customs, songs, language, food and dance etc..which are unique to each of them.




Our group planned of a cultural activity with a wedding scenario, which happened according to our own traditions and customs. We had our own dress, our own ways of conducting the wedding. We had to do this activity as a drama and we were given 20 minutes to prepare. Finally we came up with a drama which was depicting all the conditions we were given and after the feedback given by the lecture only we realized that we could have improved  more.

This activity helped us to identify the various aspects of a culture, how to deal with them and the uniqueness of a culture. This helped us in being sensitive towards other cultures.
