A report from the meeting was made.
The activities we took part in this week were planned with the Five Factor Model in mind:
– Openness to the experience: The students used their creative skills to decorate/paint a rooster which is a typical symbol of Portugal.
– Conscientiousness: The students learned a bit of Portuguese vocabulary both in the dictionary before arriving and during the Portuguese lesson. They had prepared and organized their work for this meeting and showed good self-discipline and skill in performing the tasks.
– Extraversion: The students took part in the experiences this week with an open mind and took an active and positive part in all activities. They had many activities to strengthen their capacity for cooperation, for example, the Pedi Paper, debate, anti-bullying MUN, and an Ethics Escape Room exercise. In all these activities they were mixed with the different countries which let them get to know each other, practice cooperation as well as their language skills.
– Pleasantness: Students from all participating countries took part in the KIND TED TALKS where they shared stories of kindness to inspire others. We also created a Human Red Heart together with everyone.
– Neuroticism: Students watched the film Tolerance through my eyes. They also took part in an Emotional Gym Activity and watched a movie that took them on a journey through their emotions.
