Today we explored the topic of social perception by watching the film “Friendly Game,” in which two men play a game of chess that turns out to be anything but just a friendly game. Their encounter illustrates the power of expectations and assumptions in how we perceive the world.
We also learned about some of the people and places we’ll be visiting during our trip. Unfortunately, some of our classmates weren’t able to deliver their presentations so they will be preparing to deliver their research at the airport while we wait to board our plane on Sunday. (Talk about using every available minute for learning!)
Finally, we took a group picture (below) that we plan to give to our friends in Slovenia, both old and new, as a memento of our visit.
