I found this very touching.

For those not familiar with the debating style of Tibetan monks and nuns, it is highly stylized. For these young women it is useful in teaching them assertiveness, which many of them lack--you can see their embarrassment, also their smiles and amusement. I Love the beautiful green parrots (?) watching it all.
