Philosophically 'entertaining' day!!

The day was quite usual, we got up ready, assembled at the stop, boarded a bus, then a train, then again a bus to the school. But today at the Tullinge bus stop, we met a staff member of the school who teaches Italian language in the school. Having her company, we reached at the school, and headed towards the school canteen for our breakfast. The special part began after we were done with the breakfast. We headed towards our classroom where we had a session with Adam, Juliana, and the group about the school newspaper that they have.. The Tullinge Times ! The newspaper is exactly the same like how we have our departmental newsletters, The only difference is that we have news'letters' from the different departments, and they have a common news'paper' of the school. It comes once in a month, it is also uploaded on the school website from which all the students have an access, the matter of the newspaper is edited and contributed by students, also to motivate the students to write in the newspaper, the editorial board, (as we would say) provides incentives like, a free meal at their cafetaria and so on. After having a look at their newspaper, Ma'am Sonia showed some of our departmental newsletters too. After the session, we were divided into 3 groups of 4 students and a teacher each, for an interview to publish on their upcoming newspaper. They asked us about the different experiences which we had ( and also are having) during our stay in Sweden.
Following the interview, we had a visit in their classrooms for the first time. The science students chose to go to their respective science classes, whereas I, Anjali, Gretchen and Megann, the arts students, got to attend a class in Philosophy. Urvi being a science student still came with us for the lesson since she didn't have any choice.. but, it was fun! The moment we entered the class we felt so excited because of the exciting environment, the enthusiasm and the informality (of course in a positive way) . The classroom was a small one, with a seating arrangement entirely different from ours. The classroom consisted of around 15 to 20 students, with 6 students on each of the last rows and a few of them in the middle row facing each other. At the starting when we entered, the teacher had written some questions in Swedish. After we arrived, she explained to us the questions in English. The questions were to be discussed by us in groups nd a conclusion was drawn. In the discussion, we had to describe about our morning and then explain the relationship between the things around us and our own self. Learning in such a setup was entirely a different and a pleasant experience I must say !
