Cultural reporters have a very important role in our education seminars. You are responsible for letting us know all the fun and exciting things that go on in your country. You will need to focus on: your country's population and demographics, cultural traditions that are unique to your country, major cultural happenings, any immigration issue facing your nations, and any cultural characteristics in your country that other countries have taken on. Remember: start with the links! DO NOT simply Google information as this will take much longer and could produce some very suspicious findings!
Here are some links to help you along:
