a) What was the cross-cultural project like?

The cross-cultural project was a week-long experience in the Lake District with 24 young people from different countries. There was a great choice of activities, from rock climbing to jumping in an ice-cold lake. It helped the participants to know each other better and understand more about each others' religions and lifestyles. By sharing different experiences, they learnt a lot about each other's cultures, swapped e-mail addresses and telephone numbers, and made great friends. It was considered better than reading a book in a classroom.
