International Debate

Me and Sara were representing USA. I had known already something about this country, however it is true that I leant more during this exercise. We were searching the internet to find any useful information, and there were lots of them. As we had limited time to our presentation we focused on most important points for us .

The other 14 countries presented wide range of information, among them I could find more or less interesting things. Personally, I think that each country did good work, they showed us their problems, targets, strategies and ideas how to improve and make their country better. At the moment, I do not remember a lot ( there were too much to remember of course), but I can say, my knowledge about other countries, their policies and sustainability is better now than before debate.

I think our presentation went quite well. There were mistakes of course, mainly because of tension and formal speech to the audience. I did not ask other people what did they think about it, but at that time we did our best.

In addition, this exercise learnt me that the cooperation is a very significant factor, especially if we are a tem and there is common work to do. Also to make things better next time, I would focus more on particular targets, strategies and I would give more specific examples of it.
