For International Day, I am in a group composed of a Bolivian, and Italian and a French. One of the options which was proposed to us was to take turns in learning people things from our country but we thought that that wouldn't bring the objective of working collaboratively with others so we made the decision to rule that out. Instead we decided to make an activity which was both fun and educative and that involved all our nationalities. We are going to divide people into houses and then they have to answer a quiz which shall have questions on all of our different countries. Before that we shall teach them how to make paper pellets since that brings a more interactive part to the quiz. Once they know how to do them properly, they will be able to test them out on a target we will set in the room so that they have the hang of it. After that is when the quiz starts. At the same time as the quiz we will be playing music from our different countries to create a relaxing atmosphere. We will make sure that the quiz doesn't hold too many questions so that we have time at the end to count up the points and see who is the winner. If there is still time at the end, we will use the skill we taught them i.e. paper pellet making, to kill the remaining time by, for example, letting them test out their skills on whatever/whoever they want.
As for decoration, we plan to put our 3 flags on the door and put pictures around the room of our traditions and things like that e.g. for Bolivia a picture of someone wearing a sombrero or a French person wearing a barrette.
All of this will involve creativity since we need to imagine this and organise this well so that it works out. Also, action will be involved because we will be teaching skills to others and organising our part of international day which combines with service. Working together, undertaking new challenges and developing new skills will be part of the outcome of this event and what it will teach us.
