Programme

Give young people a voice through debate, dialogue and real-world discussions that build confidence and civic awareness.

Teen Voices – Global Debate invites secondary and high school students to step into the role of active speakers and thoughtful listeners. Over the course of the week, participants take part in interactive challenges, peer exchanges and practical debate sessions that focus on expressing ideas, questioning assumptions and engaging with social topics. Encounters with civic organisations add real-world context, while collaborative tasks encourage reflection, dialogue and confident communication.
