Work & Play

On Wednesday, March 12th, we were able to have a mix of business and fun!  It was a great way to prepare for the symposium the next day. Many of us began the day by spending the morning sleeping in, lying by the pool, or shopping and experiencing downtown Port of Spain.

We went to NAPA, the University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT) complex where the symposium will be held.  Some presenters from UTT and the University of the West Indies (UWI) were able to come and work with some of us on the presentations for tomorrow, and all groups were able to put last minute touches on their presentations and see the location and set up for the event.
The day wouldn't be complete without more pool time and a wonderful dinner. We were also able to share our experiences from the past two action-packed days through our reflection time and record our experiences through a group interview held after dinner. This is a unique way to let us understand our own experiences and share them with others who we might not even personally know. This makes our experience here even more impactful!
