Presenting Bangladesh

[tajin_...@yahoo.com]

Hi Everyone,

Some of us have received invitation from the Cultural Connections to present Bangladesh. Can we discuss about what we might possibly present and when we can make it? I pasted the email for those who haven't received it.

Regards,
Tajin

Dear Students and Partners,

I’m sending this email to all the participants from Bangladesh who are on the Cultural Connections mailing list. Here is a list of the people I have sent this email to (to make it easier for you to contact them):

KHALID IMTIAZ SAAD MAHFUZA RIFAT MD IQBAL KABIR MOHD NOOR ISLAM MUHAMMAD ASADUZZAMAN NUSRAT AFRIN RAFIQUL ISLAM RUKHSANA TAJIN SAZAL KUNDU SUBHANKAR BISWAS

One of the best times we’ve had at Cultural Connections is when we a student gives a ‘GETTING TO KNOW YOU’ talk. A 'Getting To Know You' session is when participants (that's you) tell us about themselves and their home country. The idea is for us to learn about each other, as well as our different countries and culture. When people get to know each other by listening to each other’s stories, barriers are broken down naturally. As we recognise and identify with our similarities, this helps us to focus on those similarities and explore or put aside our differences.

Could you please advise me as soon as possible, if you would like to participate in presenting on your country? Could you also please advise on which month (June –December 2012) you would like to present?

Please feel free to invite any other students from your country to present with you. You are also very welcome to invite your supervisors or members of your faculty.

Usually the 'Getting To Know You’ talk is done by an individual student. I would like to vary the theme and have all the students and partners from a country give the talk, like the Indonesian students recently did on their country. This means the load is shared by a number of people, rather than one person doing it all on their own. It also means more variety, as everyone has different skills and talents, which helps to make the session more interesting. Bringing some traditional food is always a good way to get the other participants involved.

A power point presentation is most probably the easiest way of presenting information but it is up to you how you present. You can have the whole two hours to present if you like. Even if you are part of a group, we would still like to hear each person’s own story of how they came here to Newcastle.

Here are some ideas on what you can include in your talk. Remember it’s your story, so please feel free to tell it your way and in your words. Information on your country’s: History Culture Climate Food Arts - Music - Theatre - Crafts Anything else of interest e.g. Animals, Industries, Tourism etc.

You are welcome to bring any or all of the following, or even perform (act, sing, dance, play a musical instrument) It’s up to you:

FOOD –EVERYONE’S FAVOURITE YUM! YUM! Photos Traditional clothing Films Games Art/Crafts Music Anything else you think might be of interest to the other participants.

We would all like to hear YOUR STORY; including how & why you decided to come to the University of Newcastle. You can include information about:

Your family, home (house - village, town, city), community Your school, university and friends Your area of research Your experience in Newcastle so far - the good, the bad & the ugly Is there anything that would have made it easier for you in those first few weeks?What do you miss the most from home?Your plans for the future

Warm Regards,

Veronica

Thanks Tajin Apu,

I have got this email. I think we can correlate our session in our HC visit program on 22 August. What do you think? 

Thanks.

With Regards

Dear Shuvo/Tajin,

Certainly we are happy to present Bangladesh. We may talk this issue in the next meeting. However, we may communicate a tentative month for the presentation.
