I was creating and designing four characters for my story “The Sacred Wind” learning about German clothing and military wear.
I’ve enjoyed the game, teamwork and the motivation to keep playing
I learnt the true importance of perserverance and dedication
I feel more confident in explaining my culture to other people.
I learnt how to effectively organise a group of people and plan together
It’s important to find a balance between setting boundaries and making it a fun experience
With each one I’ve seen improvements in my techniques
I was able to represent our perspective on a significant global issue
I’m spending my time doing something fun and productive
This experience has been really rewarding, enjoyable and an opportunity to start something I never had the time to do before
