you know about this organisation/event before today?

Would

you choose to take part in this organisation/event, now that you know more

about it?¨

Optional:

The teacher can write down the score of each poster/organisation on board and the class may discuss which organisation

got the most votes and propose next steps for possible real

engagement as a group.
