 QUESTIONS TO ANSWER ON THE THEME TOLERANCE

1. What tools can we use to stay tolerant and be empathetic and open-minded?

- We can try to acknowledge the different cultures.

- We can try to investigate the specific country with the specific culture, due to religion, family, food, norms and traditions etc.

- We can use games to try to know each other; The string-game is fantastic! - Every one has to write only ONE word, which describes their experience with having a culture shock - or when we're going abroad; what is our expectations , described in only ONE word? Then you need a string to play the game; round up in a circle while posing your written word. Start with one person saying his/her word aloud and explaining why he/she wrote it. Then the person needs to select another person's word, which he/she thinks can connect with he/her own. RATHER DIFFICULT;RATHER FUN!

2. What kind of questions can you ask in order to reach understanding of a known - unknown situation?
