Which piece of information was missing at first?
Your mission
Defne and Maya need a 15-minute video call. Use their calendars to arrange it without repeating the missed-call misunderstanding. All clock conversions in this fictional task are supplied below.
Maya’s message
I can talk from 18:00 until 18:30 İstanbul time. I need to leave at 18:30.
Defne’s calendar
Free from 16:15 until 16:45 local time. Internet available in the hotel lounge. Please send one calendar invitation with both local times.
Talk and decide
Use the separate role cards. Keep your information private, ask questions, and agree a plan. Swap roles, change one constraint and repeat. Compare the two attempts.
Give a reason, ask a follow-up question, and check that your partner understood.
Write a final response
Complete the mission independently. Write a short final message summarising the agreed plan and identifying one fact you still need to check.
