Facilitation Guide: Cultural Pursuit

Introduce the activity to participants. This activity is designed to challenge the participants' knowledge of different cultural information.

Set a time limit for the participants to find answers. Process the activity after word.

Guided Questions: What did you think about this activity? How did you feel when you knew the answer? How did you feel when you didn't know the answer? Did any of the answers surprise you? Why or why not? How does this activity and/or knowledge apply to your role as a GHD?
