Our journey began with a meeting of all participants in front of the manor house in Ivanka pri Dunaji - a beautifully restored complex of modern architecture. At the main entrance we were warmly welcomed by one of the academics at the college based in this very mansion. Together with one of her students at the College, she took us through the building explaining the roles, principles, pillars and benefits of the programme offered by the College. We then settled down together in the common room where seminars are held for the students. One of the methodologists of the Academy of Great Works graced us with his presence and we began the seminar on "Is lying bad?" It was a meaningful elaboration at a high level where we debated, exchanged views and tried to come to a conclusion together. We failed to do that, though, and so this question will be in the back of our minds for the rest of our lives. When the seminar was over, we thanked each other, took pictures and said our goodbyes, and then we left the grounds of the fabulous Ivanovo mansion.
