Twelfth day - our last day

Today was sadly our last day. We started the day at Punahou school, with video editing (in small groups we had to make a 3 min. video about our experience here at SGLI). After editing, we had to film our 1 min video, that quickly described our project (when we receive this video from Punahou, we’ll put up a link) After lunch we watched everyones videos about their SGLI experience, which was really great. It was so fun to look back at all the memories we have made during our 2 weeks here. 

For dinner almost everyone affiliated with SGLI (teachers, students, TA’s, RA’s etc.) went to Kaimana beach. It was such a great evening, and it really made us realize how much we’re going to miss all of our new friends. Even though we’ve only known them for 2 weeks, it seems much longer. We stayed up all night, making every last moment count. 

Thank you so much to everyone who made the Student Global Leadership Institute 2016 possible. Thank you to Ordrup Gymnasium for sending us to learn about global citizenship and leadership. Thank you Karin and Peter for great company, and help whenever we needed it. Thank you to all of our new friends for making this experience unforgettable - we will miss you all!

Eleventh day - ethics and morality

Since we got done with our presentation on Wednesday, we had to give the other groups feedback. While watching the other presentations and having to give them feedback, we learned a lot about presence and body language during a presentation.   

After the presentations, we did another workshop. Today we were divided into groups of 9. In these groups we had to discuss questions regarding ethics and morality. This made for a great discussion, since all the different cultures had different views and opinions regarding these though questions. 

SGLI made a short video, so you can get a quick look at our two weeks: https://youtu.be/yE_AtPyxvoQ

Even though the questions we had to discuss were serious, we still managed to get in a laugh.

Tenth day - presentations, feedback & workshops

On Wednesday we presented our project for the other students. After our presentations, we got valuable feedback from the other students, teachers and Allen. Allen is a punahou alumni, who has been helping out with SGLI. He is extremely insightful and inspiring and gave us very good feedback on both our presentation and project.

After our presentation and feedback, we did a workshop with legos. We were split into different groups, and had to make a car out of lego, and a ramp out of cardboard. The aim of the game, was to make your car drive the farthest. Everyone in the group pitched in, in order to help their own team win. Kristoffer's team ended up winning, which he was very excited about. Not only was it a fun workshop, but it also taught us about the importance of listening to everyone on the team. 

On this day, we also had to prepare a 1-minute video that gives a quick look at what our project is all about. We will be filming this video tomorrow.
