Diversity Day Events 2019

Diversity Day Event, 7 November 2019

This semester's Diversity Day was held at ELTE DELP on November 7th. Contributions and activities centered around diversity in languages and writing styles. Ildikó Lázár introduced the event getting us to write the word 'diversity' in Japanese with our less dexterous hand. Experiencing having difficulty at the level of just copying was fun as well as a good intro to the ensuing presentations. Réka Fehér gave  a presentation on the SEAS Writing Center's work to inform students about the type of support it offers and the types of difficulties students have in academic writing. Dorottya Holló talked about how people organize their thoughts in writing and what writing styles they typically use in different parts of the world. Finally, Andrea Thurmer facilitated an activity in which we had to guess the meaning of sentences in a diversity of languages.
