A brave new world of student politics...

Today we had a taste of the fantastic breakfast at the hotel, learnt how to credit our own Argentinian mobile, met UBA students from UBA's Facultad de FilosofĂ­a y Letras (Philosophy and Humanities) and Faculdad de Derecho (Law).

Today we conducted our very first interview which was both exciting and insightful! We found some interesting parallels between what students campaign for in South Wales and Buenos Aires, but also strong advocacy of the merits of a public higher education accessible to all.

Visiting a uni for the first time, we were in awe at the vibrancy of the "centro de estudiantes" and the bustling political activity, with student political groups on a permanent campaign along the corridors of the centre.

Tomorrow we're headed even further afield and the promise is of more to tell!
