The presentation day!
Finally, the day has arrived when we presented our research with great pride within the 4th Student's Symposium: Research Topics on Intercultural Learning in the International Context.
Presentations were held in front of the McNair Scholars who had many questions and participated in the discussions with great enthusiasm. First presentations were the general ones and their topics revolved around Republic of Croatia, city of Varaždin, educational system in Croatia and Faculty of Organization and Informatics.
After the general presentations, we got to present our research topics. My topic was Perceptions of Multicultural College Students Case-Study: Influence of Multicultural Environment on Students in Europe, North America and East Asia.
Research was about different perceptions of students from 3 different continents and about their attitude towards multicultural environment and aspects of studying/working abroad, the importance of international contacts etc.
It was very interesting to hear different opinions form McNair Scholars who come from various parts of the world, such as Puerto Rico, Vietnam, Persia, USA etc. After the presentations, we had fruitful discussions over launch where we further talked about many interesting topics and set foundations for future cooperation on many fields.
