Today, TP10 had its third and final end-of-semester Oxford Union-style debate with the motion: Media is a force for good in society.

This was another good debate and it got heated in the end! A warm thank you to Renata Saraiva, Inês Eusébio, Mariana Raminhos, Daniela Marques, Jéssica Fidalgo, and Cíntia Santos and to all who participated.

Thank you all for your hard work this semester. I wish you a lovely and relaxing summer.
