17th July Group 1

In the morning, we had a lesson on communication and ways to persuade others. During the lesson, we learn principles on persuading others as well as analyzing your audience. We also learnt how to present your ideas and do persuasion through activities and presentations during the lesson. During the lesson, we were given a scenario and we used Aristotle's 3 pillars of persuasion (credibility, emotions, logic) as well as the 6 principles of persuasion (reciprocity, scarcity, authority, commitment, consensus and likability) to persuade our audience. It was an amazing experience which taught us different skills. We enjoyed the lesson very much.

After lunch, we had a lesson on cultural psychology. During the lesson, we learnt how different cultures from the east and west can make a difference in the attitude and mindset of people and how does culture influence people's perception of things and also their behavior. Through activities in the lesson, we understood how different people minds think in different cultures. It was a fulfilling lesson where we have learnt a lot of psychology studies and models.

Moreover, we had our Global Solutions Project meeting before and after dinner. During the Global Solution Project, we talked with our groups about different aspects of the assigned island. We cooperated together in finding a solution to create laws and structures to make an ideal environment for our island. It was an unforgettable experience and we made many friends throughout the process.

Today we had an astonishing experience. Though we encountered different challenges and obstacles along the way, we managed to pass through with our positivity and perseverance. This was a memorable experience for all of us. We hope to learn more in the following days and break through all the upcoming challenges.
