Video: Ten Years of Slovenia Debate, a Panel


PHOTO: Koper Museum, where the discussion took place

It was ten years ago that competitive academic debating began in Slovenia, sponsored by the Open Society Institute. Today it is an independently funded national activity that has penetrated every level of Slovenian society. High schools, elementary schools, universities, public outreach projects and a national weekly television program are just part of the story.

In this discussion Bojana Skrt, director of ZIP (the national debate organization) is joined by teachers and former debaters to discuss how it started, what debate has meant, the magic moments and also the challenges and barriers. This is the first sixty minutes of a ninety minute discussion.

This is a large file but looks great when played through your iTunes application.
