Selene CP-3

This cultural workshop was very interesting as the topic was differences in education culture across countries. Once again, the focus of our conversation dealt with something that is very important for both the CIES and TEFL students to know about. We got to learn about the way each other's teachers behaved in primary and secondary school as well as how we were expected to act as students. Somehow, our particular group got siloed into pairs, which made the discussion less rich but still interesting. Kyle made sure we were staying on task by walking around and checking in on the individual groups. Sayyid and I had gotten off-topic and were talking about camel races when he came around and asked us (nicely) to finish discussing the rest of the items. I guess the topic was't as stimulating as previous sessions because no-one in our group seemed overly eager to share their own experience. I think our experiences were all actually pretty similar, with only a few exceptions.
