What is a roundtable discussion?
- During a roundtable discussion six to eight high school students and two or three experts sit at a table. Together they discuss the research that the students have conducted and the Global Challenge essay they have written.
- The high school students take turns in pitching their advice in three minutes. The experts will then respond to the pitch and a pre-designated student will ask a question.
- You cannot use a (powerpoint) presentation for the pitch. However, you can show items during your pitch.
- After all pitches there is time for a joint discussion in which the pitched problems and solutions will be elaborated on.
- After the roundtable discussions, all participants will receive a Borlaug Scholar certificate.
