Initiating with a serious of innovative frameworks and models, today’s sessions were as great as yesterday. The curriculum contained academic research and practitioners’ experiences, specifically focusing on the implementation of intercultural knowledge in the real world. One minor improvement that could be made in the future is the structure of audience interaction. While everyone had different presentation style, the common goal in this conference was to clearly explain the content in a limited amount of time. In addition to the theoretical framework, a little more experience-sharing and case discussion would help the audience to engage further with the speakers.
The most impressive session today was from our keynote speaker Mona. By adopting the video clips and social networking tools, she effectively changed everyone’s understanding about the Muslim religion in modern society. I have never thought about how these Web2.0 instruments could empower young Muslims to freely express themselves in the aspects of politics, human right, and activities. I am optimistic about the change (which is probably following after a serious of confusion as Mona noted), and consider it as an initial aspect of a revolution, which indicates that more diverse voices will be heard in the future.
