Projects

Kareem has graciously allowed me to share this with the group.  Sorry about the confusion. Thanks everyone!
Good discussion yesterday. Looking forward to the outcome of the Facebook discussions. See you all next week
and have a great weekend.

******************************************
So, I think the general (mis)understanding, was that we thought it was expected
of us to choose one of the 5 groups, and within those groups, we would all have
to decide on one single, specific topic to focus on. For example:
Group: Immigration/migration
Topic: Headscarves
Objective: Everyone in group goes out and researches a specific topic dealing
only with the headscarf issue, comes together and creates performance based
presentation on the headscarf issue.

When...(in my understanding) it actually goes a little more like this:
Group: Youth Culture
Topic(s): Media, Arts and Social Life in Youth Culture
Objective: Anne Marie-researches Gay culture within youth culture,
Lauren-researches drugs and alcohol/social dancing, Kareem-researches Youth
culture in film/film's influence on youth culture, Aya-researches fashion trends
in youth culture, Phil-researches music scene. Then group comes together and
creates performance based presentation shedding light on each one of these
topics and their relation to the youth culture in Berlin.
