Cross-cultural lesson in leadership—Twenty-four specially selected high school students from 11 states broke into small groups to play Barnga as part of the annual Student Leaders in Service summer program held this past June on the Birmingham-Southern campus. Barnga is similar to Spades or Hearts, but the exact rules of play for each group are slightly different. The game challenges participants to examine the assumptions, beliefs, attitudes, and subsequent actions we make when we limit our options for communication and interaction with others. Student Leaders in Service is a weeklong residential program that exposes rising high school seniors to leadership and service through theory and practice. The students put their leadership skills to use in various service projects benefiting the Birmingham community. Sara Doughton, assistant director of the Bunting Center for Engaged Study and Community Action at BSC, led the activities.
