Hogwarts ISR IC

Image posted by the member
Even though all Hogwarts students reside in the United Kingdom, many are from different countries all over the world. In order to stay connected with students with various cultural backgrounds, Hogwarts International Student Representatives (Hogwarts ISR) from each country or region are invited to meet and share the uniqueness and beauty of their cultures once every month!
Moreover, Hogwarts ISR members are actively organising school events from time to time and providing assistance to their peer students, particularly those who have not been living in the United Kingdom for long. Through different fun activities from international cuisine cooking class to folk dance performances, Hogwarts ISR aims to promote fellowship, unity, mutual assistance and brotherhood among Hogwarts students.


OOC Rules

Reducio
1. All HiO rules apply.

2. No foul language or swearing. We take this very seriously.

3. If you decide to take a break or permanently leave, please notify us so as not to leave the other players in the dark. This is particularly necessary when your character is scheduled to be in charge of an event.

4. Some of our members have visual disability, so we really appreciate if you do your posts in fonts no smaller than 100%.

5. No bullying or harassment in any kind of form to any culture, country, race, religion, belief, nationality, ethnicity, personal value, personal interests, gender, orientation, etc. We're here to have fun.

6. Please keep everything make sense. For example, if your character is raised in London by a British father and an Egyptian mother, then they will be familiar with British and Egyptian cultures. It won't make sense if suddenly they know very well how to cook Vietnamese cuisine. Sure they may have a Vietnamese friend or a parent who takes interests in Vietnamese culture, or they've read it somewhere, but the chances of knowing the cooking method or authentic Vietnamese flavour are very small. Also remember, your character is only 11-14 years of age, so their knowledge (especially on cultures they don't have first-hand experience on) should be limited.
IC Rules

Reducio
1. Please respect each other. No discrimination, bullying, or harassment against any country, culture, race, ethnicity, religion, belief, personal value, personal interests, gender, orientation, blood status, etc is or will be tolerated.

2. You are encouraged to participate in our meetings and events. Dedication and teamwork is essential for a great club!

3. If you can't (or for some reason prefer not to) attend, please notify the president or vice-president.

4. No physical fighting or heated argument please! We're here to have fun with culture, not to brawl. All conflicts must be solved with good manners.

5. Please respect other members and their opinions. And don't be afraid to share your own opinion!

6. Foul language or swear words are strictly prohibited. Some members are highly sensitive to this.

7. All school rules apply.

8. Last but not least: have fun!

FAQ

Reducio
1. Is this club for international (non-UK) students only?
No! Everyone's welcomed to join. For int students, this can be your home away from home. For UK students, this is a place to meet new friends from all around the globe and have cultural exchanges.

2. Even students who are not descendants of other nationalities? Can they join?
Of course!

3. Why does the application form specifies "nationality according to passport"?
The first reason is this is for administrative purpose. The second reason is because some people may confuse nationality with ethnicity, so we decide to add the explanation "according to passport".

4. What is the difference between nationality and ethnicity then?
Quick answer: Nationality refers to one's country of citizenship, or more easily, which passport one holds. Ethnicity is the cultural characteristics that define a person as being a member of a specific group.
Example: Paolo holds the passport of Italy, but his parents are migrants from India. At home, he speaks Hindi with his family. He looks very much like an Indian boy with dark skin and black eyes. Paolo's nationality is Italian. His ethnicity is Indian. Being of Indian decent does not make him an Italian-Indian or Indian-Italian because he only holds the passport of Italy. He also doesn't have dual nationalities.
