Today I gave the last of a series of three workshops I have set up for incoming exchange students. It's probably the coolest thing I've done in my whole working life, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I set up a workshop about intercultural communication, which means I prepared and gave the three sessions. Not a lot of students signed up as it was voluntary and they didn't get any credit for it (I mostly had about 6, 7 people in class), but the same ones kept coming back and they seemed to really enjoy it. Today was the last session and I made them fill out a short evaluation form at the end. They were all very positive and two of them even said they wished there had been more sessions. I was glowing with pride when I read that!
It was really great to teach these workshops as I love to talk about the topic and I think it's really important people get educated about it. And I just love teaching, especially if the students are really enthusiastic about it as well. Plus it was so much fun to put the sessions together, thinking about which theories I would teach them and coming up with fun exercises for them to do to make it more lively. I've always tried to deny it but I think there might actually be a proper teacher somewhere inside me. :D
