Motion
We Should Suffer Now To Preserve The Ecological Inheritance Of The Next Generation
Rationale
The debate will be used as an activity to raise the youth voice on policy that affects the environment. Despite over half of the population being under the age of 35, the participation of young people in policy conception, formulation and implementation remains minimal. The projects seeks to scale up a culture of debate and it specifically focus on policy debate so as to nature young people into active citizens.
