“What do you see in this picture?” 

Using artwork can be an engaging way to explain some ICL concepts. In this case, a Qualified Teacher from AFS Belgium Flanders used the pictures of Slinkachu’s Little People art project to get participants thinking about the idea of culture as something that may be perceived by the individual eye, but that is constructed in a collective way.

“Culture is the collective programming of the human mind that distinguishes the members of one human group from those of another. Culture in this sense is a system of collectively held values.” — Geert Hofstede.

 Do you know other artwork that could be useful to explain ICL concepts and could be as engaging as Slinkachu’s photos? How can we use visuals and art to convey these ideas? Please share your ideas and resources!
