Apollon Meeting #9

Topic: Can we submit a bid to host the Olympics?


Moderator: Sara
Agree side: Emily, Isabera, Lucy
Disagree side: Sophie, Ashley


<Emily> If we host the Olympics, many people come to Apollon, and we can get bebefits. Besides we will get a big chance to advertise Apollon to other counties.

<Isabera> She is a cheerleader so she wants to join it, and almost young people have interests in like her. If we really want to do, we can do it..

<Lucy> She wants to exchange with other countries' people, so the Olympics is the good way. Besides we can get economic benefits and tourism will be stimulated.


<Sophie> We can't host the Olympics because we do not have large enough costs and places.

<Ashley> She also worries about the big costs and money. We need not only studium but also Olympics Villages.


Audience
・ The Olympics' scale is mismatch to Apollon, are there other event?
・ Sunflower marethon is better than hosting the Olympics.

<Sara> How about holding some sports festival with more small scale?

<Agree> We can exchange with other countries even the scale is small, so it's OK..

<Disagree> If the sport doesn't need new buildings or places, we agree with that.


<Consensus>
We will hold "Sunflower marathon" on last Saturday of July.

 This meeting was better than last one because all of us prepared enough, I think. We could exchange our ideas and reach the consensus. I really appriciate audience giving us a key to conclude and moderator leading us to good consensus. However I think it is very important to decide topic with thinking deeply. Anyway I enjoyed today's discussion.

  1. I thought ideas in disagree idea was uniform and boring. This was because we have talked about costs again and again. If disagree side point out the topic from other standpoints, the discussion will be rich.
    But, you could state your opinion strongly, so it was great!
