Graduate Attribute
In this activity, I did learn many graduate attributes that I did feel comfortable with and I will talk about each one n the following part.
1. Communication Skills:
I did communicate with many students in this activity about birth equal rights. The communication skills in this activity can be summed by saying that I did get benefited by a great deal by communicating with many people from various backgrounds.
2. Thinking Skills:
During this event, I am sure that all of the participants did use thinking skills such as brainstorming. Since the vent was about chess the participants needed to predict the next move as close as possible
3. enterprising skills:
Yes, this event did provide Critical thinking skills.
4. Adaptability:
When it comes to adaptability I need to give a short definition about it first, it does mean your capability to learn any new skills whatever the circumstances you face. Clearly, this event shows that easily by the ability to conduct this whole event virtually during the Covid19 period.
5. Global Citizen:
I did feel that the most since I am mainly from Egypt and I do live in Saudi Arabia right now. So with that in mind, you can see that I felt that I need to participate as a global citizen during this event.
6. Enterprising Skills:
When it comes to enterprising skills, clearly I can say that I did see how the participants are passionate about the idea and do give it their time and energy. So it is about passion and energy.
Mini Report
This activity was managed by the ISS sports team since it was covid time and the only chance to do the activity is by doing it online.
It had a lot of challengers and prize money for the top three winners.
it took two days in total since the participants had to play against each other and the winners will play again in the semi-finals to determine the final game and winners.
Self-Reflection
For this part I do encourage the sports teams not only focus on the body and physical sports but also the mental strength and games to improve the way they thing and develop, I do think chess is one of the games that require talent, patience, and fast thinking.
