Meet and Chat
For the party, the chat facility will be at the top of the community home page. Alternatively, go to the dedicated Chat page. Either way, it is only visible to members of OSCARactive. If you see others in the chat room, jump right in and introduce yourself i.e. First name, where you are, what you do etc. If any of this info is 'sensitive', just de-personalise or use general terms (i.e. 'middle-east' instead of a specific country). Make sure the sound on chat (little speaker icon at the bottom of the chat box) is turned up so you can hear when someone adds a message. Try using the smilie icons to convey mood. Update: We plan to be online to chat every Thursday from 3pm until 4pm (GMT). Come and join us then!
Happy Birthday to you

Competitions
Quiz
How OSCARish are you? Take the OSCAR 10th birthday quiz to see how much you know about OSCAR. There is a prize for the top score! Update: We have a number of people who have scored 9 out of 10. We will choose one of these to receive the prize at the end of March unless you can get 10 out of 10!!
Who's who?
Somebody has joined the OSCARactive community whom we think may well be bogus! How good are your detective skills? Browse through the member profiles and see if you can tell who it is. Then email us at info@oscar.org.uk with the name of the person whom you think it may be! We'll pick one of the correct entries out of a hat to receive a prize. Update: We have a winner! One person has so far got the right answer. Why not see if you can find him? Your only clue: He's 'out of this world'!
You've been cross-culturally framed
A prize awaits the person who submits the funniest cross-cultural youtube clip (Or you can upload your own home made one)! To do this click on the 'Video tab on the top menu bar', then on 'Add a video' and then follow the instructions. If you have any problems uploading please get in touch. All clips should ideally be less than five minutes long. Update: This competition is still open!
Have Fun!
