Today was a very special and memorable day. It made me realise how little we need materialistic items; a whole day with just the ocean and the sand and sharing this experience with a wide variety of nationalities.

I have learnt so much about how the islands are constantly changing, and our biology lesson with Marie-Laure was fascinating. Learning about how important nature is to the people of Guadeloupe made me question my own realiance on material things.

Today was a day that I will remember for the rest of my life. True paradise! Within such a small space there must have been about 6 nationalities all working together and enjoying one another’s company. When an event like this occurs we forget all our differences and just connect to our similarities #multiculturalism

I will start with a quote today: "“Keep your language. Love its sounds, its modulation, its rhythm. But try to march together with men and women of different languages, remote from your own, who wish like you for a more just and human world.”  by Hélder Cámara.
Today we went to l' Ilet de Caret, a magical place about to disappear in a few years due to the breaking of the coral barrier and the waves stealing away the perfectly white sand with each passing. The island is smaller each month and will soon disappear but another island is already forming someplace else. We took the one day trip to Ilet Caret with  Marie -Laure, Jordan and Morgan, "Balade en mer et Mangrove." We learnt a lot about Nature, Multicultualism with an excellent and funny teacher: Marie-Laure, an authentic super-woman from the Caribbean.

Today was a day in paradise.  It was the day of my dreams come true.  You have to have dreams, Believe that someday they will fulfill.  At the end of the day, we had a wonderful biology lesson. Marie Laure was the best biology teacher I met. I did not understand one word, but I understood everything that she was explaining. An excellent teacher.

Today's session has been unexpected for me for the following reasons: the boat trip to the island Caret and "Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin" with all the explanations of Marie Laure, a very friendly and funny Guadalupan woman. She told us about their traditions in the daily life and we were a very mixed group of different nationalities listening to her special way of telling things and anecdotes. Another experience today was to enjoy with Marie Laure's Sciences lesson about mangrove trees and the whole ecosystem of which they are part.  We've learned a lot having a lot of fun.

The subject of session 4 was multicultural education. The second and third dimensions mean that teachers have to construct knowledge and in order to be successful they have to use a "wide range of strategies..." A perfect example of realizing this was Marie-Laure. Staying with us on this dream of an island Marie-Laure was not only a very friendly and funny person, but she was able to give us a lot of information in a very humorous and motivating way as well, always combining different methods: She reported about a lot of things, asked questions, made us tell about ourselves and even her monologues were never boring, because she always used her hands, feet and fascial expression. Thus, although she spoke French and very little English she made all of us understand almost everything. This is multicultural learning live.

Today I was deeply impressed by Marie-Laure. She neither speaks German nor Spanish or Polish and even English is not her favourite language. Otherwise I can't understand French. Actually a situation, where communication is nearly impossible. However - miles out!
By rising her whole body, facial expressions, hands, feet and voice she managed to explain us what's the water like in the mangroves, even how they grow and propagate. She told about the birds living in this trees.
Incredible - I understood her. That's real intercultural teaching and earning!
