It certainly seems so. I hadn´t the opportunity to work before with this kind of dinamics.I agree with Marilia when she says: "Would be great if we could organize it again".

This was one of the greatest activities! Besides being an opportunity to practice our arguments and skills to speak in public and convince the audience, it´s a moment to exchange information and learn from each other. In the end, it´s a win-win activity: everybody gains from these debates!
I loved to be part of this initiative and it would be great if we could organize it again.
What are some of the polemic topics we could discuss? Let´s brainstorm! :)
