United Nations sessions
During the following days, students of the Adam Mickiewicz High School No. 3 in Katowicedebated during simulations of United Nations sessions on matters in such fields as international relations, politics, economics, human rights, ecology, diplomacy and many others.
In the Auditorium A during the final day, country delegations voted on the bills that had been debated earlier. After the votes were completed, it was time to recap and award the best delegates in different categories.
At the very end there was a break dance, the so-called "punishment".

The event was held in the Auditorium, as well as in the rooms, with participants divided into smaller groups.
