ECNAIS Student Debate Event and Conference In Lisb
Lisbon, Portugal | 19 - 21 April 2023
The ECNAIS Student Debate Event and Conference “Promoting Democracy and Civic Engagement” was held in Lisbon, from 19 to 21 April 2023.
On April 20th, the first day of Conference, Oksana Balakshyna made a very emotional portrait of the experience of teaching and studying in Kyiv Private School Athens.
The 2023 ECNAIS Conference was a very special one because we hosted the 1st ECNAIS Student Debate Event (https://ecnais.org/debate/). In partnership with DDI - Stichting Nederlands Debat Instituut and with support from Porticus, we trained teachers all over Europe, students have debated at their schools and at the national level and, in Lisbon, 12 teams from 11 countries (Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Turkiye, UK) debated in 3 rounds and one final. The motions debated were: “we live in a post-truth world”; “European countries should establish quotas for young people in government” and “it is possible for European countries to achieve a common immigration policy”. In the final, Spain and Bulgaria debated the motion “Parental school choice reduces inequalities”. The Spanish team had the highest score in the final debate.
