Today we visited the presentation from a group of students that spend two months in El Salvador carrying out a project as a part of their studies at the HAN. It was quite a frightening event if you consider us helding a similar presentation about our project one year from now on.
They had put a lot of effort in their project and shared it with us by showing loads of photo and video captures. They also interacted with the audience which made things really interesting. On stage they build up a cage with real chicken and used that area as part of their role playing.
In the break we had a conversation with Simon Gebert who was part of that project team. We asked him about the the greatest problem and nicest experience they faced during their work on the project. He mentioned that they had a couple of fights that were triggered by the fact that they had to live together on such narrow ground. But he was amazed by how many new and great experiences he made getting to know a culture that lives a completely different life compared to us. We believe that we probably also will experience those aspects and are glad to be warned in advance.
So all in all it was a stunning occurrence that helped us realize what we are heading for during our work on the project. We could catch some basic presentation methods that we could put into good use for our own presentation.
