Simulation Exercise, Exercise, Ice-breaker
Raise awareness about our cultural identity in order to have a fruitful intercultural dialogue towards European/Global citizenship
Participants should divide into pairs. One person of the pair will be receptionist, other one is guest. Every guest will get a problem card where his problem is written and his task will be explain his problem to his receptionist during 1 minute.
The problem can be really general e.g. The elevator is broken and the guest needs help to take his luggages up to the third floor. Then it can be specified e.g. The neighbour uses santal sticks because she is buddhist and the smoke is too strong.
The receptionist and the guest only can use their mother tongue and body language. They can not use any common spoken languages! They can not speak with each other before their meeting. Every pair has 1 minute to speak and the receptionist should solve the problem. If he doesnt succeed during one minute, afterwards he can guess and the other participants will be asked as well. At last the guest can say what was the problem.
Firstly all pairs will play and try to find solutions.
After the exercise, debriefing will happen. Debriefing can be on cultural identities, similarities and differences between cultures, intercultural dialogue, communication.
