The exchange started with the participants talking about there goals in the encounter followed by a session about the North and South context was introduced to the participants by Samuel and Babu, this made the leaders understand that there is always a perspective to what is and it all depends on where you are standing and looking at it. This session was later followed by an intense discussion on the topic of racism, the participants got to learn of its origin and the effects it has on people without even them realising, this made the participants to understand that for everything to change its has to come from within.
