Phase+II+Discussion

Below you can place your information into the table. This will help us organize our informations. Then we can move to the next step of creating the travel package.

It seems as if we are not clear about the expectations for the second part of Phase II Here are the directions for the "Travel Package": The travel package must include the following for each country:
 * ==== A picture or image that best represents each home location (country) and a description as to why that picture was selected. ====
 * ==== Three facts about each country/home location that contributes to its sense of place. For example, what is special or unique about your home location? This could include buildings, cultural activities, special events, and/or geographical features. ====
 * ==== A special project of charitable work (Is there an area of need that is special to your home location? Or is there a group that provides special support?) ====
 * ==== Information or a picture that represents some cultural aspect of your home location (i.e., holiday celebration, art museum, folktale, sports activity). ====
 * Group members should work to find some common elements among their countries.
 * Must have a theme
 * The travel package can be created using the technology of your choice. You may wish to create a presentation, an electronic brochure, or even a short video for your travel package. For a list of possible tools and technologies, please view the Technology Resource Page on the GLIP wikispace.

==== You can use these questions to help you determine which picture and information shows someone else why your “place” is so special to you. ====
 * ==== 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? ====

Input your information into the chart below like I did:

I believe this image represents everything I wanted to convey about the beauty and pride of my town :) This picture and the video I included represent the spirit of my town. It has changed from once perceived "bad" community to a thriving community. We consist of a large military population. I am currently living here because my husband proudly serves in the United States Army and is stationed on Fort Bragg. Even though, this picture doesn't necessarily give a skyline view of the town, it shows the heart of it. This town is proud of the military community that surrounds it. It proudly supports it military members and family. This place is unique because it contains so much military history from WWI to present. In particular, this image is of the Airborne and Special Operations Museum which displays the history of the military units on Fort Bragg and their contribution to WWI to present. ||< # Recently, Fayetteville won "All American City" award. [|Fayetteville, NC All American Video] Operation Homefront (OH) provides emergency financial and other assistance to the families of our service members and wounded warriors. Through generous, widespread public support and a collaborative team of exceptional staff and volunteers, we aspire to become the provider of choice for emergency financial and other assistance to the families of our service members and wounded warriors. Where there is a need we do not provide, we will partner with others for the benefit of our military families. ||

The International Folk Festival was created to celebrate the richness of the diverse cultural roots of our community. By showcasing historic artistic customs and traditions of a culture, the festival strives to foster an appreciation of our diversity while preserving the historical and traditional art forms that infuse a culture with its specific identity. || I choose this picture becasue it is a symbol of what Durham's history represents--small business, success, and need. The founders, John Merrick, Dr. Aaron M. Moore, and Charles Clinton Spaulding are men of significance in Durham who did something that was unknown in the African American community during that time, created a nationally known successful business. Durham is a city that has a great African American population and many stories of success. This is just one of them with major influence (in my opinion) ||< 1.)
