I feel very connected to this module as I have a diverse group of students representing several international locations. They were assigned a final project to open a restaurant that serves their global cuisine. The final project requires students to describe the history of the cuisine, location of the restaurant, menu creation based on their target market; and design and layout of the facility. International themes, music and decorations round out the ambiance in the restaurants.
There are a couple of weeks throughout the semester where they work in groups; making decisions on whether to buy local produce, import seafoods, etc. This an excellent way for the students to share their perspectives on the needs of their community, share information on and develop a greater understanding of other international cultures; what
Students develop a global leadership perspective as they engage in the project to become International ethnic restaurant owners.
