Learning about Japanese culture and MLI diplomas


Last evening we had a great time thanks to Japanese group. They had prepared a presentation about their country and culture. All the international students met at the theatre to listen to their explanations.



Two nice Japanese boys did a powerpoint presentation which included a description of Japan, the most important places and cities in Japan, a list of typical food. They also showed us a traditional way of playing drums, and a boy played for us using boards and cardboard instead of real drums. To finish their presentetion, they introcued us to origami, and we all tried to make a paper figure, what was quite difficult! But we could reach to make it with the Japanese students help.

After the Japanese presentation, we had the handing out diplomas ceremony. Teachers gave to students the certificate which proved they all passed their couses. Teacher handed a funny diploma about a special feature of each student. For example, some of our students got: the best basketball player, the super cool girl, the Juliet, etc.

After all, we still had some time to do some indoor sports and to say goodbye to the other Italian group who left last night!

    This is the end, but you have lived a lot of experiences in this days in Lancaster, so you must be happy and think that the next year you can have another opportunity like this.
