Explanation
In the main group, you present a series of statements to the young people and ask them to indicate whether, in their opinion, the statement is true or false (e.g.: Who thinks it is true? Raise your hand. Who thinks it's false? Raise your hand. Who abstains? Raise your hand) or if the answer is A, B, C, etc.
You can also provide clarification after each statement with the help of Key messages.
To end the activity, you can ask them what they have learned from the exercise.
