a table, a chair, pens, a poll box, four questions for the visitors to answer:
1. What is your personal concept of a heroe? (Describe the characteristics and conditions he/she must have)
2. Why and for what does the figure of the heroe exist?
3. What is the difference you think exists between a leader and a heroe?
