#weeklymeeting

Many of you would agree with us on this: in order to get great results, you need a great team! To achieve this, we have put strong emphasis on getting to know each other. But we are ready to move on!

In our last meeting, we designed the outline of our first of many workshops on Global Citizenship Education (GCE). Our mentor gave us very nice feedback already, and next week we will present it to the client. During this first contact with the students, we will introduce ourselves and familiarize the kids with the concept of global citizenship using dynamic activities like guessing games, a cultural bingo and collaborative mind maps! Our aim is to encourage them to participate from the very beginning. The best part? Since the schools will reopen soon in the Netherlands, we might be able to have an on site event! As one could expect, we are very excited about the possibility. 

Would you like to know what we would be up to next? Stay tuned!

Huhu, after a busy week, we have finally finished our midterm presentation and are excited to present it next Thursday to the PREMIUM community :). To satisfy your curiosity, here is a glance at the colourful timeline we created to show you our progress and coming activities! We are currently busy with designing the introduction meeting with the pupils and brainstorming ideas for the global citizenship market!  

Some important team reflection also occurred in our weekly meeting: we decided to change some strategies to work more efficiently to prevent prolonged sessions, such as using breakout rooms to divide tasks. We also want to give Slack a try. We don’t know if these strategies will boost our working efficiency, but we do believe that learning by experimenting and being adaptive is one of the most powerful tools to find the optimal teamwork method.

In our weekly meeting, we discussed the development of intercultural competences. It appeared to us that food is an excellent manner to discover new cultures. Especially in these times, food is a way to travel to new countries or to bring us back to our home countries for the time of a meal.

We decided that we would share with you in the coming weeks our favorite recipes from our home countries. So keep an eye on our Tumblr page to culinarily travel with us!

During our weekly meeting, we discussed transparently our individual strengths and weaknesses following the SWOT concept (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) in a trustful and supportive environment. We truly believe sincere feedback to each other is not only a key point to further individual development but also contributes to smoother teamwork. We plan to regularly integrate feedback sessions into our project.

We also discussed our  logo. ATTENTION, we are very proud to introduce our new logo to you!
