Представить свою культуру без стереотипов · слушаем и говорим

Host: For our meeting, please bring one example of a place, object or practice you would like to explain. You do not have to represent everyone from your country or region.

Participant: Could I describe a small community library rather than a famous monument?

Host: Certainly. Explain what makes it useful, who can visit and which details you have checked. A specific example often gives us more to discuss than a general list of national characteristics.

Participant: I have a photograph taken by a friend. Should I include it?

Host: Ask for permission first and check whether people in the image are comfortable with sharing it. You can also make your own diagram or describe the space in words.

Participant: What if someone asks a question I cannot answer?

Host: Say what you know and what you would need to check. You can offer to find a reliable source later. It is better to leave a question open than invent a tradition or speak for people you do not know.

Participant: I would also like to ask how similar spaces work elsewhere.

Host: That is a good invitation to compare experiences. Keep the question open so that participants can explain differences within their own communities as well as between countries.
