After the lecture we went back to our school, where the students worked in two groups.

Both groups learnt about the Musketeers of Words, a debate tournament planned as a culminating event of the exchange and project. The intro to MoW was led by Ms Monika Izbaner, who talked about debate assessment and role fulfillment.
