Experiential Learning is the opportunity for students to learn by doing real things where they practice an experience in a safe environment. Aristotle once said: \u201cFor the things that we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This experiential learning activity was carried out on Thursday 22nd<\/sup>\nof October at 6.00 p.m. in Beirut and at 8.00 a.m. in Mexico where it lasted\nfor almost two hours. The Institution of Elementary School La Salle in Obregon\noffered their grade 6th<\/sup> students the opportunity to live with their\npeers from another institution the same experience of sharing their likes,\nlanguage and skills. Furthermore, The University of La Salle Noroeste also\ndeveloped a project that allowed applying the knowledge of the students and\nteachers of Educational Psychology by providing the opportunity for internationalization. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was proposed that the activity should be developed into four\nparts: 1. Preparation<\/strong> for the\nactivity. 2. Icebreaker <\/strong>\u2013 starting\nthe activity 3. Collaborative activity<\/strong>\n4. Closing and Farewell.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the very beginning, the director of La Salle in Obregon and the\ndirector of College Notre-Dame in Beirut opened the meeting by giving a brief\nspeech and Brother Louis Mjalli was the presenter and translator, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this synchronous session, the Mexican and Lebanese students\nplayed their favorite songs in English and after the greeting each student\nintroduced himself. Then, they were sent to four rooms where they were\ndistributed randomly. In room 1 and room 2, Students talked about their\nfavorite food and pet and shared their images. In room 3, they shared the\nimages of something that reflected their Lasallian qualities. In room 4, they\ntalked about the Lasallian values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the students were automatically returned to the plenary\nmeeting and as a result, one of them was chosen to present the work they did\ntogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the meeting, the Lasallian prayer was presented on\nthe screen and said in three languages (English, Spanish and Arabic) at the\nsame time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
