We have two international students in our group. Marie is from France and Louise is from the Netherlands. I suppose that this first day I achieved or trained particularly my language proficiency by getting to know the other international students, interact with them. During the tour in school we played some games, we got our instructions in english... In the afternoon we went to the city-center of Kortrijk and also during this activity we all, including the international students, had to express ourselves in english. We did a good job I suppose, our group won the price connected to the search game in the city-center. A nice way to start our week! There was also some personal growth by showing some creativity, showing some self confidence by 'daring' to interact with people you just met etc. ]]> 2019-11-27 21:31:40 UTC https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/417277108 remilafosse https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/417277791 We may not be superheroes, but we are social workers. ]]> 2019-11-27 21:34:06 UTC https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/417277791 remilafosse https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/417278989 More ICOMS were used today. Like yesterday there was some personal growth and the language proficiency by following the lectures and the interaction with the others of my group. I followed  SDG 13 about climate action. A very interesting man who spoke to us about "The end of the world as we know it". He showed us the climate situation in the past, now and what he expected to be in the future, which thought me more about International expertise. The second lecture I attended was about intercultural communication. For me, I  this lecture gave me some Personal Growth, language proficiency and intercultural competencies. Our first steps to our mind map has been taken. ]]> 2019-11-27 21:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/417278989 remilafosse https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/417283534 1. Observe how they interact with you
2. Appreciate differences (example: In India time-keeping is not important)
3. Do not assume that all people of a country interact the same way. 
4. Be patient]]> 2019-11-27 22:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/417283534 remilafosse https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/417284484 2019-11-27 22:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/417284484 remilafosse https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/417285179 On excursion in Kortrijk. We visited the 'ShareFactory' , the 'Heerlijkheid' in Heule and 'Samentuin de Venning'. Three extremely beautiful projects in the heart of Kortrijk and Heule. It was a very interesting day for me and it showed me the importance of these projects on a social level. Keep up the good work guys! Today was a day we worked on all our ICOMS. ]]> 2019-11-27 22:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/417285179 remilafosse https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/417286781 Maarten is a client of the Heerlijkheid in Heule. Together with him I collected wood and finished of his Christmas tree. Thank you Maarten for this nice afternoon. ]]> 2019-11-27 22:22:22 UTC https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/417286781 remilafosse https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/417694296 Today was another day of of lectures. Very interesting ones to me. In the first one we had to discuss topics about what we can do ourselves to reduce our waste as much as possible. We also learned some new tips and tricks. In the second lecture I learned about radicalism. The president of OCAD in Belgium spoke to us. I don't think it has much to do with Environment and Sustainability, but I still could use a thing or two that I could couple with Social Work and Sustainability. Very interesting lecture!  In the afternoon we could work on our presentation. This was the last day we could work on it. I have the feeling we can be happy of our mindmap and what we managed. Today we had the opportunity  to work on all our ICOMS. We spoke English with each other, and I noticed in this short week, my english got better and better. ]]> 2019-11-29 08:48:06 UTC https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/417694296 remilafosse https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/419595406 Today was the day of our presentation. Everything went well I suppose. In my opinion, we were a fine group. ]]> 2019-12-04 13:08:43 UTC https://padlet.com/remilafosse/tci8mqyvepmp/wish/419595406
