Back to their representative school children started the World Café. During this activity, the participants were collecting ideas to the questions how to get the attention of the media, how to motivate adults, friends, and classmates and how to organize a planting party. Afterwards the children gathered in their school groups and planned their own project, which they would want to implement after the Academy.
At the end of each Academy day, family, friends, and guests arrived for the evening event. The children proudly presented the prepared presentation and their ideas from the World Café.
