Project week has been a life-changing experience. 7 days immersed in the beauty of Laos, hiking mountains, kayaking along the Mekong river and visiting the city of Vientiane had contributed to make my trip extraordinary fun. What really made this trip unforgettable is the service me and my group did with the NGO SEO Lao. This no-profit organization based in a Vang Vieng, in centre run by volunteers, helps local farmers with the work in the field in the morning and takes the responsibility to organise english lessons in the afternoon for farmers’s kids. As a group, we’ve been involved in both activities. Teaching english to kids and also people of my age.

Mentoring Primary School
During this term I’ve been involved in the mentoring activity with primary school. I really enjoyed stayed with my class from grade 5. The purpose of this activity is to interact with the children and create a connection with them in order to learn, from my side , new learning techniques , and to let them have the chance to know me and discover about my country and m
y culture. I met my class two times since the beginning of October and I talked with them about my hometown and what impressed me the most when I first arrived in Singapore, also I taught the class about games from my country and I talked them about my experience in grade 5 back in Italy. Also they explained me about and the activities and the subjects they study all along the year and how primary school works. Throughout this exchange both sides learned about how education can be different looking at different culture and environment. I really glad of this experience because it gives me the possibility to learn and teach at the same time and to be aware of the whole community of UWCSEA, which is not only composed by the high school where I belong to, that involves and educates since the kindergarten.
Culturama Mexico
I decided to join Culturama because I think it is a great activity!Even before coming to the school I knew about Culturama and when I saw videos of the event I couldn’t wait to join it in the new year.I did the audition for the mexican dance and luckly I got in.I loved the dance since the beginning and with practising I started getting better and better.Doing culturama has improved my skills in dancing and team working, in fact our performance requires coordiantion between every person who is involved: the times, the steps and the movements need to be done and executed in a fixated moment due to obtain the best performance. I’m looking forward for the final show and I can’t wait to collaborate more with my dancemates
