Prizren, March 17, 2012 – Movement FOL has broadened the debating program in the city of Prizren as well. FOL, on Saturday officially has established the debating club in this city where three teams of high school students has been trained in the format of the debate “Karl Popper”, who will be participating in the National Debate Tournament “Kosovo Open 2012” , which is going to be held in April of this year.

FOL movement has re-turned the debate program in Kosovo, in February 2010 were initially included three municipalities (Municipality of Pristina, Peja and Ferizaj) whereas during 2011’s, the program was extended in three other municipalities (municipality of Suhareka, Malisheva and Mitrovica). Besides the municipality of Prizren, FOL movement aims at expand the debate program in other municipalities of Kosovo as well, in order to include as many young people as possible in the debate program.
The debate is an exceptional opportunity for development and education of the youth. To achieve success in academic and school life, young people need to know how to present their ideas and how to respond to the arguments of others who disagree with their ideas. Debate in a democratic society expands students’ knowledge, ways to understand the political and social developments and to argue about issues which they believe.
