Introduction:

After a long journey, where we spent many days away, you came back eager to 
speak to your family, friends and people close to you about what you experienced on 
your travels. They also waited anxiously for your return. 
 
The weekend that this experience proposes that you organise and hold, is an 
opportunity for you to tell all your family and friends about the trip and its results, 
together. There are many examples for inspiration, such as on p386 of the DNS 
Africa book, Image 5, period 3, there is a description of what this day could be like: 
 
&#39;&#39;A Parents&rsquo; and Neighbours&rsquo; Day 
 
The Grand Hall was unrecognizable. When the small group of visiting parents 
and neighbours entered through the doors, they unknowingly entered the 
Democratic Republic of Congo. The tables had been put on end and now 
served as temporary walls, covered with laminated pictures showing the 
scenery from the bus, the crossing of rivers and passing through small 
villages. Here, there was also a big map and big posters showing some of the 
incredible natural resources and the size of the country. 
In one square, each group of parents had to sit down and try the Fufu with 
spicy Pili pili sauce, while Congolese music was playing. In another square, 
they met a family of refugees telling them about their move from the horrors 
of internal conflict. In yet another, they met a Humana People to People Field 
Officer, who told them the history of colonization and terrible exploitation, 
and also taught them a small song in French about The Poor liberating 
themselves from disease and poverty, and in the last square they entered the 
chaotic streets of Kinshasa, where they saw a small video and met a street 
vendor who served sweet green tea and talked about his dreams for the future 
of Congo. Finally, the parents had to sit down in the first DNS teacher 
training college in D.R. Congo, where they met a teacher trainee who gave 
them 20 questions to test how much they could remember from their &ldquo;travel&rdquo; 
around in D.R. Congo &ndash; the Assembly Hall. The points would all count on this 
3-hour race around the whole DNS &ndash; going through all 5 travel countries 
through pictures, drama, storytelling, taste and sound.&rdquo; 
 
This is an experience that could be really inspiring for you to do this task. From this 
you can easily see that it requires a lot of preparation. 
 
Good luck!
