Students discussed on cultural diversity and learned about each other’s culture as they thought together and discussed a global issue in their community. Each team identified one of the community problems and presented a solution project to be supported in their community.
The program enabled students to work with supervisors, through a number of multinational contacts, discussions, and dialogues related to diverse cultures, design thinking, understanding empathy, and identifying problems and solutions.
