The participating students engaged in the World Game in which issues related to countries and how they did emit CO2 were demonstrated.  The participants were later divided into four different groups for the World Café in which each group did deliberate on different major topical issues such as: How they can involve media in promoting the project in Nigeria, how they can organize a tree planting party in their communities and schools and deliberation on how they can involve their parents and friends in the project best. The groups were happy to read out the outcomes of their deliberations in which they all agreed to join the Plant-for-the-Planet Club, Ibadan, launch clubs in their respective schools, engage media houses and open a facebook page.

The participants were happy to share what they have gained during the academies.
