Meet and greet in other cultures Looked at difference between formal and informal greetings - eg student at interview where next door neighbour is running the interview How would you address him / her? Handshake or hi, backslap etc Importance of knowing how to greet correctly in other countries if visiting, some things we do in Australia would be an insult in other countries. Looking at greetings then from Japan - bowing, meishi card, hajimemashite Jackie - French greetings - Salut, bonjour Alex - Spanish - Ola Jared - Fijian - bula Students then to work with a friend and practice a variety of greetings Annette told story of childhooad teasing of her "hives" - how did she respond/cope -shared her strategies on __how to let go when bad things happen to you.__ Traced hand on whiteboard. Placed strategies in fingers and her strongest support in the palm of her hand i.e journalling, talking to a friend (dog), imagine your special place, play some music, get away to a special place, friend's house, hug your dog. Students trace around their own hand and fill in their "Helping Hand".
