It's good to think about one's own identity and culture from "outside the box". I have to admit that I have never before thought so much about my name and its meaning and the cultural context I am living in.

Especially with modern communication technologies, cultures can globally influence each other. This does also affect the identity, as the cultural identity is part of the personal identity. Therefore, it is important to know how cultural aspects influence your identity.

The exchange with the colleagues and their views have helped me learn more about who I am.

My favourite quote of the day was "Change the classroom" - so I've attached an image of today's changed classroom!

What is "Identity"?
How can define myself and where is my place in the world?
This is an important question nowadays in Germany to find out what is the "German Leitkultur". Today we tried to find out what "identity" means.

Who are we?
A set of alls and nothings depending on the value that we give them.
Who we are today is not the same as we were yesterday or we will be tomorrow.
Identity is not permanent, changes with time, with the influences suffered, with geographic change, ...
We all change and we all can change the world.

Today we talked about identity. This is a theme I worked a lot with during the last years (personal and professional issues). So today I took the chance to reflect all my thoughts and solutions and I'm very comfortable who and where I am right now (not only the fact that I'm on a caribbean island because of work :) )
#everything is changing
> maybe you can't see the change, or feel it, or imagine it...but it if you change  -> everything can change (personality, identity, culture,...)
>> be the change you want to see in the world

We explored the idea of identity: our own and of others. We only know ourselves if we have the interaction with others. That knowledge allows the acceptance of other cultures and identities. The personnal identity is in continual change and we have to accept and embrace it. This is a key competence for everyday life.

All the activities and the surrondings were nice and effetive.

Who is in?
Although we all have different languages, an individual name, a certain nationality and specific cultural background that does not mean we have to identifz with it. Identification means something that we inherited, we were brought up with but it can change. I can always get rid of my past, my identity, something that society and religion teaches us. Life, nature, cultures and peoples are changing every day. That development, that change is happening continuously.
Learning something new every momemt, experiencing different people and places helps me to understand this constant flow and supports us to come to my own identity, to my own individual self.

Today I´ve learned much about identities - it was a very good session to get in touch with each other, to find out about same ways of thinking and to get a better understanding for our differences. And to realize at least what I think my identity is inspired from by now. I´m deeply impressed of you Rita - your positive thinking, your short and direct inputs, your reflections and of course your managing of this course.
The quote of the day for me is "If there are things you don´t like and you can change then do it... if not be relaxed with it!."
I would like to take this into different personal and professional issues...
