TOLERANCE - METHODS

This week's theme is tolerance. 

What tools can we use to stay tolerant and be empathic and open-minded?  Tool boxes, different methods – string method, peer method, picture to gain

We played different and great activities - " the web" , " The known unknown settings" 

1. Game: " the web". 

We had to describe our culture shock in one word only! The foreign exchange students in the class had to write their culture shock in Denmark in one word. Us Danes had to write our culture shock in another country also in one word. For me it was actually kind of difficult to remember what was a culture shock for me in another country, because Im a really open-minded person, and I have it very easy to adapt to a different environment. 

We stood in a circle, raising our paper. The teacher began explaining why he had wrote his word, and then he
combines his word with another word, and then he/she explain why he/she wrote their word. 

The teacher had the thread, so when he had found a word that matched his word, he throws the thread to the person. At the end, when all words match each other, it looked like a cobweb.

2. Game: " The known Unknown settings" 

This games was a group work. On the first picture, it describes what we had to do. Picture 2, we had 3 posters: Laos, Denmark, Eritrea. We had to look at the 3 set of pictures and identify what is " familiar" and what is "unfamiliar". 

Then we had to prepare questions we would like to ask to the person(s) on the picture to gain a better understanding of what we had identified as unfamiliar. It was a really good group work. In our group we were 3 totally different people, but we could relate to many of the "unfamiliar" things that were on the pictures. Ssome of the unfamiliar things we asked ourselves " why" but many of the things we saw on the pictures, we could say that we also have this in our school. It gave me a better understanding of other school system.
