Phase I: Who Am I? What's My Place?


 * What __really__ makes up your identity? My habits, my style of life, my friends.


 * What __really__ makes up your sense of place? what i do there, my relations with other people, atmosphere.


 * What roles do your identity and sense of place play when you work with others in a group project? I try to do my best in each task and i have an experience of a leader of a group. i guess i can be a reporter.


 * What are the qualities that you bring to the GLIP conversation that will help you make a contribution to your global group? responsibility, creativity, inquisitiveness, skills to come to the compromise and skills to prove my point of view are my main qualities which will help me in the project.


 * What is one local problem (where you live) that you believe needs to be addressed? Suggest some steps could you take to try to solve it? we have a lot of problems in our region but for me one of the most important is - bad roads and litter on the highways. during every spring we (drivers) can loose our wheels in the enormous pits on our roads (asphalt). we can only drive slowly. and we (people) shouldn't litter anywhere. gathered our rubbish in the pockets and then put them in the garbage can.


 * Finally, some problems have been around for a long time. What qualities do you think a person must have to step up and try to solve them? start to make world better from himself. don't do anything he/she doesn't like in other people.

Phase II: Sense of Place

Upload image (s) here:

Use these questions to help you determine which picture shows someone else why your “place” is so special to you. my city is one of the best known Russian cities. it has a long history which is connected with great wars, famous people and legends. Nature in the Pskov region is very beautiful. there are many lakes, many rivers (big and small), picturesque forests. people here are friendly and kind but they change after 0,5 liter of vodka.
 * Does a scenic picture represent the beauty you believe that your town has?
 * Does a picture of a group of people represent and show a warmth and friendliness that your town has?
 * Does a statue or building convey the feeling of history that makes your place important and unique?
 * Is there a cultural event that represents the values of your home location?

What are your initial thoughts about how your image addresses the questions above? Later, you will be working with the members of your group to create a travel package that includes visits to each group member's home location (see Phase II
