Presentation of the dialogue following Untraditional Meeting

Different strokes for different folks 

The students from each country will be asked what comes in mind when they think about the other student's country.

The goal is to show each group how they can deal with misrepresentation in general and their country specifically and will be given a task to represent their country following other activities.

The power of social media 

First Part: We will dive into the social media world. What are the different platforms that we use, how can we use them more effectively?
