Description of the process and the possible stepping stones
Globingo:
- Hand out the copies of Globingo and make sure people can walk around in the room.
- Open the game by telling it’s meant to get to know the other group members and that they have to find out how ‘intercultural’ they are.
- Instruct that they have to search for different students who fit in one of the boxes of Globingo; they have to write down their name and the country.
- Play the game and make sure no one is left out.
- Round up by comparing the results.
Line-exercise:
- Draw a line in the middle of the room.
- Divide the group in 2 and put them opposite (at least 2 metres apart) to each other with the line in between them.
- Open the game by telling it’s meant to get to know the other group members.
- Instruct that you will read out lines and that they have to walk to the line if the line is about their life; after each round one goes back to the starting positions.
- Watch closely during the game how students react (emotionally) to the game.
- Round up by sharing experiences: what did they see? what did they feel? what was surprising? etc.
