Form mixed groups so that the students can experience the diverse perspectives that regional differences can bring.

  • Ask the students to stand in a geographical line, from west to east, depending on where the students identify.
  • Let the students decide where they feel they stand in relation to others.
  • Eventually form as organised line as possible, to then assign them group numbers depending on what size groups you want to form.
