As the main goal of the game is the arising discussion, the feedback and general discussion form an essential part of it. The teacher’s task is to lead the introduction round of city plan or plans and to ask programme related questions.

In general it is important to note that the promotion of our health and well-being is influenced by many public servants and citizens in different fields. Thus the knowledge about Health Promotion is important to everybody. The exact focus in the feedback round will be decided and directed by the teacher.
