The third Virtual Exchange session of the second iteration for students was carried out on 27 November 2025. In total, 193 participants attended the online exchange.
During this session, the students enjoyed another interesting guest lecture before continuing their work on the sustainability action task. The guest speech was given by President Tarja Halonen, former president of Finland, on Sustainable Development in Politics. After this presentation there was time for a Q&A session with the former President. For the last two hours, students had time to continue working on their sustainability action task. With the help of moderators they had group discussions on how the sustainability action task was going and how the guest lecture influenced their opinion.
