The thrilling 2025 Environmental and Climate Debate Tournament is behind us!

Four teams took part in the final discussions about our future:

  • III SLO Kraków defeated ZSME Tarnów in the showdown for 1st place.
  • III LO Poznan won against XX LO Krakow in the debate for 3rd place.

But before we met the final winners, we watched the semifinals with baked goods on our faces. The jury had a really tough nut to crack - such was the level! One thing is certain - it was a day full of excitement, rhetorical and substantive fencing for words and arguments!

The event promotes discussions about ecology and climate change in the form of Oxford debates. The goal is to gain knowledge, rhetorical training and encourage young people to engage in global conversations about the environment, health and sustainability. The debates are organized in conjunction with the Cracow Speakers Association. Each debate pits two teams of four people - the proposal and the opposition. Each person has 5 minutes to present their case. The winner is the team that better presents the analyzed arguments and successfully challenges the opponents' position.
See you next year!
