The students were divided in international teams, including both the participants to the project and the students from the other school in Palermo which was invited to take part to the event. Each team was given a scenario card about a common stereotype. ​

Their task was to record a video challenging assumptions, making people reflect on respect for diversity and cultural traditions and encouraging empathy and open-mindedness. ​

Each team had 30 minutes to perform the task. All the members of the group, even the guest students from the other school, had an active part in the realisation of the task and were in the video. At the end of the activity the last task was to post the video on the Twinspace of the project. The two criteria for the evaluation of the best video were creativity and respect of the task.​ 

The students had the chance to get to know each other better thanks to a funny and involving activity. This game got them moving, encouraged them to speak and to put themselves out there. During the activity, they laughed, felt at ease, developed teamwork and cooperation skills and they understood how important having good communication skills is. But, above all, the aim of the game was that of breaking cultural and social barriers, deconstructing stereotypes and building a more accurate vision of partner countries' cultures (traits and habits).  ​
