On the Way to the Parliament

„On the Way to the Parliament“ is a debating contest for secondary school students.
The project consists of two fundamental parts: first, there are seminars for secondary school students; second, there is the contest itself, in which students selected to compete in the individual debating teams and representing schools in the regional and national rounds of the contest take part.
The contest teaches students to look at different issues from different angles. They must seek information about each topic in order to be able to defend their opinions both for and against the given statement. In this way, they learn to take an informed stance on the topics under discussion and perfect their own opinions on the particular issues.

"On the Way to the Parliament" already has a tradition of five years. A total of 2,000 students have taken part in the project so far.  The discussions were mainly focused on the European Union and topics concerning coexistence within the EU, on human rights and national diversity.
