Break The Ice
Dora (HR) is one of the Media Team Members of Tromsø IS and she wants to connect her project to all three terms from the session theme: Explore, Exchange, Experience — Sparking Young Curiosity. Dora would want to show the way participants explore parts of Tromsø. They will be exchanging their opinions about changes they support in their countries. Finally, the experience of the entire project is to ensure all participants are free to speak their mind during the event with little or no boundaries. Dora wants them to speak about serious issues in their countries as well as how or why they want to change them, in a fully free way.
