The topics for debate focussed on the operation of youth associations as well as issues that attract the world’s interest, including the environment, culture, education, start-ups, and digital transformation.
After the qualification round at the provincial level, the organising board selected 52 teams with 156 contestants to enter the national round, with four of them entering the final round.
