"Countries of ICM"

Game 4: countries of ICM
Created & designed by Annika Artlich

One thing we love about the Intercultural Mentoring Program is having you aboard - people from different countries with different points of views, traditions, national dishes, languages and ways of growing up.

This game is a way of getting to know each other's countries and of embracing our cultural diversity by discussing, looking at pictures and listening to stories of our home countries.

"Let's Bingo!"

Game 5: Let's Bingo - to get to know each other!
Created & designed by Golnoosh Baghi and Miriam Keßler

The game focuses on the experiences that you made in Freiburg, positive or negative. Many of us had had some moments of doubt and uncertainty during their studies but we all overcame those moments.

We are sure that you also had a support system back then, when you started your studies, and if some of you did not have it, you know more than anyone how important this support system is. This is exactly what the ICM community is about. ICM is a part of support services for international students. To offer them orientation and a support system at the beginning of their studies.

But first things first: Let's play a simple Bingo game to get to know each other.
