Presentations should be no more than 15 minutes in length and given in English.

Selected presentations will be published in a special edition of the GPEJ.

• Search for information in your library or on the internet.

• Create a thesis statement which explains your main idea, informs the reader what the presentation will talk about and makes a statement which your work will defend or explain.
