For the first cultural workshop we were given two worksheets prior to look at and fill out a chart using certain things to describe yourself. For example, some of the things I put on my chart were marketing, server, non-religious. We were broken up into groups and then as groups we read our charts to each other and discussed them. In our group we have 4 TEFL students and 2 CIES students, Saeed and Lina who are from Dubai and Russia. We then discussed specific things that differ between each of our cultures. For example, in Dubai you don't shake hands with woman and when men greet each other they touch noses. In America, many people will hug, shake hands, or tap each others backs as a greeting.
