On April 16, 2019, the qualifying stage of the Kiev debate tournament took place at the Law Faculty of the National Aviation University.

The debates were held on the British parliamentary format on the theme “reducing the age requirements for a presidential candidate,” where participants actively expressed their positions.

It was an incredible experience for students, because it was an honest, democratic, tolerant, with equal opportunities game in which future presidents had to show critical thinking and express their own vision of the powers of the President of Ukraine and the development of the state.

Participants ’performances on the criteria of knowledge of the topic, originality and oratory were assessed by a competent jury composed of: Irina Sopilko - Dean of the Law Faculty, Alice Logvinenko - Deputy Dean and Vitaly Glizinsky - Coordinator of the national network, Project Manager of the Republic Institute.

According to the calculations of the results, the victory was won by Yulia Usata (PR-105) and Denis Kateshenok (PR-102), who will represent NAU in the finals of the Kyiv city spring student debate tournament.

Congratulations to the students and wish them further victories!
