On Saturday nights throughout the term, students from a particular country or region tell about their homes, their way of life and customs in oral or visual presentations. These events form both an instructive and an enjoyable part of the term and are important in the process of furthering international understanding. Be prepared to participate. Consider bringing some small articles, posters or video tapes from your country to use for these presentations. National flags, costumes, slide shows (especially ones that tell a personal story), music etc. can make your presentation more interesting as can a display of stamps, coins and handicrafts. Students sometimes prepare a snack which shows the cuisine of their homeland. Consider also asking your embassy, and government ministries for help. But try not to sound too much like a tourist brochure. Try to make it a personal presentation of what you think is the best about your home country.
