Week 5 begins with an activity called "Home-Work-Play" where students discuss where they fall on various cultural continua (like face, uncertainty, power distance, etc.) depending on whether they are at home, at work, or in social situations. Then, they discuss the global refugee crisis, focusing specifically on the difference between migrants/immigrants and refugees. They also hear personal experiences of refugees and attempt to understand how it would feel to be forced to upend their lives and start over somewhere different, where they are most likely a minority.
