The workshop started with an‘ice-break’ mini-game called‘ Attraction’.Second was an interactive game where we were to find among ourselves someone who did something on the forms we were given. Third was a problem solving game that needs intense teamwork.A new student shared his experience of cultural shock.

The event ended with Ms Yin concluding the essence of communication and dealing with day-to-day stressors. Those games and interactions were designed to help students develop communication skills and exchange positive energy.

It was a very interactive event and a relaxing time where the atmosphere was very cordial.
