You will discuss possible answers to inquiry questions and you will inevitably pose more questions yourselves. Ponder them, absorb the variety of perspectives you will encounter, and reflect on the broad learning experience, the knowledge, and the skills that you will gain or hone during this time.
Check out the list of activities:
