World Myths and Legends
Our WG was about culture, we had some discussions about different aspects about culture in MF countries, and we took some experiences learnt during our OM.

Kulturbahnhof
Kulturbahnhof is the name we chose for the work group-Culture, to bring about a similarity that it would bear to a place where learning and appreciation of various cultures take place. As culture is an extremely vast subject we had a large variety of topics to choose from and our areas of discussion ranged from a few sensitive topics to some light-hearted ones.
This deliverable covers all the major topics of discussions we have had over the period of our Work Group. It gives an insight into the
personal views of the group members and an overall cultural perspective on each subject.

Second Life
Our deliverable is a video, which contains an analysis of online gaming and its various social and psychological effects, while also dealing with perceptions about gaming the world over. This is a deliverable based on the discussions of our workgroup, where we primarily delved into various aspects of gaming and MMORPG's during the course of the last few months. We portray the good and bad aspects of gaming, while including real incidents and real interviews, as well as some explanation about the consequences of playing videogames, and its impact on society, labor and family. We wanted to reflect all the aspects indicated by our workgroup name: Second Life.

SOS
We can't take ourselves out of the society we grew up and live in. But we can question things, compare different perceptions, appreciate other cultures and over all learn from each other. This is what we tried in our workgroup by discussing various topics that concern our society. The deliverable should give an impression of themes that were relevant to us outlined in a creative way. We hope you enjoy our S(ave) O(ur) S(ociety)-slambook.

MF: Multicultural family
We have done a power point presentation as an introduction of our work with questions and answers from the different countries, and a paper that contains the analysis and summary of our discussions in the simplest way we could. We have selected the topics we consider the most important ones, and the idea is to put information we could not find in web pages or books. We recommend to take a look at the power point presentation first, and then look at the longer paper if you find something interesting.
