1. Food- Sharing food and eating together was really enjoyable. Everyone is happy when they are eating good food and it was nice to have that experience with everyone. Eating together is a cultural experience.
2. Making connections with the outside world (like things I already knew and other classes I was taking). I felt like I was in a constant state of amazement because I could see many of the things I was learning/discussing/thinking about in the world around me (particularly classroom settings). It confirmed the fact that what we were learning about was truly relevant. The guest speakers were also beneficial.
3. The welcoming learning community- I felt comfortable asking questions, revealing my own ignorance in some places, and sharing what I knew because it was a friendly and supportive environment.
4. Blog presentations- it gave me the chance to nerd out about things I love nerding out about infront of the class. It also gave me a good excuse to research things I had always been interested in but never found the chance to give a lot of time to, particularly architecture in Colombia.
5. Skill sharing workshops- Helped shake up the dynamic of the classroom and helped me see how much of a beautiful thing diversity of knowledge is.
