Empowering Youthwork for the Green Debate materials were used during the Prague Debate Finals
From 25–28 April 2025, Prague became the centre of the Czech debating season, when it hosted the final tournament of the Czech Debate League together with the Open Tournament. Both events provided a stage where the Empowering Youthwork for the Green Debate project came to life.
During the tournaments, debaters faced motions inspired by the project’s case studies, exploring environmental challenges and their consequences. These resources provided participants with concrete perspectives on environmental issues and helped shape well-structured debates.
The project was also main topic during special workshop for adjudicators and coaches, where the webpages were introduced and explained. It served as practical guidance on how to integrate the case studies into debate preparation and as a teaching methods. Participants discussed methods for transferring these knowledge to debaters, aiming to raise the quality of arguments, debates and increase the educational impact of debate activities.
The Prague finals demonstrated the power of combining youth work, debate, and sustainability. They showed champions of the Czech 2024/2025 season and were milestone in the project’s journey.
