Seminar Reflection

In this seminar, we discussed the quote “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”—whether travelers should adapt to local customs or stay true to their own values. Some people felt that following traditions shows respect, while others believed it’s okay to set boundaries if certain practices conflict with personal beliefs. One example is the … Read more

This seminar is actually a meta reflection for our whole MYP journey that’s sadly about to end 🙁 I really like the questions designed by Tingkai and Thomas, they gave us a chance to ‘talk about how the school could be better run’. The question I like best is’if you could change one policy of … Read more

This seminar focused on identifying the key elements of a good blog post, like titles, images and writing style. What I found helpful was the way we looked at different examples and discussed them.

Different than the past few seminars which only had questions on their PPT, this one involved comparison between text or pictures. I … Read more

The first time I’ve ever heard of the word “dark tourism” was when I was preparing for WSC… I never thought travelling to such places around the world had a specific name to them 🕷️.   You could guess the (slight) excitement I had when I heard we’ll be doing a seminar on this. If … Read more

Very interesting seminar hosted by two very interesting people (shut up Leo). The phrase stated in title might be rather controversial.
