3. How are you going to use this new insight? (i.e., practicing new knowledge in the current
framework of operation)

4. How else and when could you use this new information? How could you improve policy
making with this new insight? (i.e., review opportunities of using new knowledge in a new
framework of operation.) (Time: 5 minutes.)

Discuss your findings with your neighbors. (Time: 5 minutes.)

In plenary, discuss what insights you have gained from this exercise? How did the group
