Debate Community

Citizens Act has developed strong experience in debate education, using a structured format widely applied in international competitions. It has trained teachers and supported the creation of debate clubs in public high schools across Cyprus. These activities encourage students to engage with key topics such as inclusion, equality, democracy, EU values, and active citizenship in an open and interactive way. It has also helped strengthen a growing national debate community through school competitions with increasing participation, some held in collaboration with major European initiatives, including during Cyprus’ Presidency of the Council of the EU. In addition, it has supported Cypriot students’ participation in international debate events, helping them gain experience and connect with peers abroad.
