Going back to the Parktheater for day 3 of the culuurdouche programme was explosive. The activities for the day started with coming together of the IEM international with Mr.Kees de Bie (Vanderlande) addressing us . He shared his working  experience as an industrial engineer, working in various departments of the organization he works with, working with foreigners, be able to accept these foreigners with their ideas,looking for ways to communicate with  them and trying to figure out solutions with those he worked with and works for/with irrespective of their cultural and educational differences.He also shared with us about the challenges he experienced and his biggest regret in his career.  After that, questions were showered on him  but he stood his ground very well in giving us answers to the questions. We also listened to Mr.Martin de  Ruiter  (RoyalFloraHolland) as he shared his 30 years working experience with us.After that, questions were asked  and he showed capability in answering these questions.

After the talk with Mr.Martin de Ruiter (RoyalFloraHolland), we had a one hour lunch break which we ( the various groups, both the international students and the dutch students) used the opportunity to gather to make-up  questions to ask the experts that we are to meet after the break. At the end of the break, we reconvened this time to meet with the experts, each expert had 15 minutes to talk to us, share their experiences in their various field of endeavors. We asked various questions to each one of them and they gave us answers to the questions. Though, some answers were not satisfactory to us anyway.At the end of interviews with the experts, i was very happy tapping their ideas and learning how they were able to withstand challenges and becoming great men and women in their various fields.
