This description is derived from notes taken during class and my memories of the session.

After this week’s Talking Circle presentations, L3 praises one of the students for creating slides which were visually strong. That was very good for visual learners, he says. Consequently, a student asks for a visual representation of the UN bodies so that the connections between them become clearer. L3 tries to draw a diagram on the board but immediately admits that this will probably not be very helpful as the UN’s structure is simply too complex.

Some more questions about NGOs and the UN are asked. As L3 refers to a certain reference in his answer, he also talks about the author’s background. Afterwards he picks up the reflection questions from the lecture and asks us to discuss them in groups. Although discussions are lively across the room, no one wants to share his or her opinion with the whole class afterwards. Thus, L3 who has been walking around during the group discussions mentions some aspects he heard earlier and, hence, makes people talk eventually.
