reflection about the project

The video that we made was about the UAE culture on the past. We were five members on the group each one of us talked about a specific area about the UAE culture. We talked about the bedouin lifestyle, hospitality, falconry, camels and fishing. From the video that we made, I learnt many things; firstly I learnt new things about the UAE culture which gave me a new background about my beloved country. Moreover, I discovered that each one of us have skills, such us the interview skill, technological skills, teamwork skills and leadership skills. Nevertheless, this project helped me to understand the culture diversity in deep with the UAE example
