 GTI Consortium has worked on the Cross-cultural PBL for many times, it was the first time to decide using English as the public language during the event. Even though the time was limited, students made their discussion successfully. Communication between different culture is always the priority in the global activities which GTI Consortium has been promoting. We believe that the Cross-cultural PBL can develop students ability to solve the problem between different culture. Please be a part of the event if you are interested.
