Tittle: Teambuilding
Date: 8/3
The aim of this section:
The aim was to experience leadership. We kept in mind three things that are important in team building; find our own roles, cooperate with friends and aim the same goal through making a movie.
What we did during the section:
At first we decided a theme and a concept of a movie in 5 minutes. Next we made a draft and took a scene with 5 to 6 people from each group. At the end we showed it others in the farewell ceremony.
Participants' impression:
Although I was a bit worried about the movie production during the time of team building, each group was able to build relationships by discussing scripts, casts and directing. However, there was hardly sweetness of the time of film production and recognition of it.

Tittle: Education
Date: 8/4
The aim of this section:
To share the history and the education of history in Asia before and after World War II, as well as to know things that cannot be heard usually, such as diversities and differences among countries.
What we did during this section:
① Discussion About World War II in each group
②Presentation about Japan (Explain the process of progress of Japan during the Pacific War and at the end of war by using Japanese textbooks)
③Presentation about each country (stories of World War II in their own countries, images of Japan, etc.)
④Q & A , discussion
Participants' impression:
1.Got to know the fact that there is an army in Singapore.
2.Felt the difference of historical recognitions, the way of thinking and national characters. Concretely, Chinese students strongly argued that World War II should not be forgotten. The difference seems to be due to the difference of education of history.
3.In spite of the heavy theme, the atmosphere was nice and we felt free to ask questions. Consequently we heard stories that would not be heard without PAL.

We had prepared you quiz and "The Life of Game (QOL version)" and it was definitely fun doing them as a team. Our two days had only 2hrs each so they were not too serious, enjoyable.
