Day
two and day three
Our day
two focused on nutrition and related health issues. The students were energetic
since experiences in food and nutrition in their own contexts is common. The
activity was for them to reflect on nutrition provided by their own school
communities. It was interesting for them to relate on how today’s nutrition
could impact on their growth and academic development. Through the activity the
students became aware of prevalence, government budget and health consequences
that result from unhealthy and unbalanced nutrition. The tablets in addition to
their personal phones became tools for researching on this sensitive matter and
finally voice their concerns to school administrators to rethink on meals
provided by their schools. One group took this opportunity to start working on
their final presentations.
Day three
had challenges with time to complete planned activities. Our group had limited
time to complete activities planned for the day. However, the main objective
for the day to discuss about global waters was achieved. The assignment helped
students to look differently on the fact that water is not only a problem in
developing countries but also to the developed world on how water is consumed. When
they had developed the piece of land and waterfront offered to them to develop
and invest, their perspective of use of water locally, and globally created
discussion topics.
Overall,
the day was smooth and productive by participants moving a step forward on
their final projects.
