Students were divided into two groups - one consisting of representatives of a company wishing to turn a traditional village into a tourist attraction, the other of local residents opposing such development.
The first part of the lesson involved each group's reflection and construction of arguments for a meeting in the city hall. The second part of the class was based on a simulated debate where each group presented its arguments to the representatives of the city council for assessment of the project's overall viability.
