Creating awareness of the limits to the concept of culture.

The participants have to place themselves on a continuum of completely agreeing to completely disagreeing on the following statements. The trainer will read statements aloud and try to stimulate a discussion on the complexity of the issue. The persons are allowed to move on the dimension, if they are convinced by certain arguments.
Sum up the discussions with a presentation on culture – that the concept is typically related to nation, past, shared values and un-changeability. However, this creates certain limitations in the understanding of the experience of migrants, who move place.
