This assignment asks you to explore a country and culture that you are interested in and that is different and unique from your own. You will need to brainstorm, conduct research, organize a journal of your excursions, and then present your project in front of your classmates.This is a fun assignment that will let you pair your understanding of Intercultural Communication & Tourism with your creativity to present a unique journal/portfolio of your expedition in a new country.I recommend being judicious with your time.
You will have several weeks to prepare for this project so make sure you are proactive and delegate time wisely. Below you will find the requirements for this project.RequirementsThe following are requirements for the presentation component of this assignment1. Your presentation/portfolio can take many forms.

Make sure the lighting is adequate and your voice volume is clearly audible. You can print out the slideshows and hold it up to the camera/audience or you can connect your computer to a television set and show your slideshow on there.
