This enables the students to learn more about each specific country’s culture, climate, environment and people. The varied nationalities of the students (Spanish, Swedish, French) has created a great cultural platform for the week for cooperation and discussions. By standing up and making a presentation in front of other people help them build up their self-confidence. They practiced both listening and talking while giving and partaking in each other’s’ presentations. This exercise of presentation was really pleasant for all.
