Description (what happened?):

Each participant bought a plain white T-shirt

and there was a selection of special pens for

writing on t-shirts. We designed our t-

The shirt included our name, organization, and country. We also had to design our own logo/mascot on the t-shirt to represent ourselves, for example, showing a hobby we do, a caricature of ourselves, or a personal symbol.

Then we walked around wearing the t-shirt and met each other and asked the following questions:

• What is your name?

• What country do you come from?

• What does your logo represent?

T-shirts were then pegged up in the entire room for the week.

Outcomes (what have you learned?):

Knowledge about each other, get to know their names, roles in organizations, and something about their personality.

What can you bring back home from this day?

A very unique and colorful t-shirt with a lot of good memories!
