New schools for debates - your support matters!

By Iwona Olkowicz | Project coordinator

/Polish version below/

The summer holidays have flown by, and the 2nd Masuria Debate League is now part of history. With renewed energy, we are now recruiting more schools to join our debating initiative! Our goal is to gather four teams of 8-10 students each, who will work intensively over the coming months to prepare for debates.

With your support, we can:

  • Recruit new schools: We are expanding our reach to engage even more students.
  • Equip our library: Our library is filled with debate materials that help students gain knowledge and develop their argumentation skills.
  • Refine the rules: We have improved the debate rules to eliminate any uncertainties encountered in previous editions.
  • Organize workshops: We will soon start sessions to prepare students for participating in debates.

Additionally, we have inspired three partner organizations from other regions of Poland to promote Oxford-style debates. Together with them, we invite young volunteers to participate in debates on topics such as volunteering, human rights, and democracy. Debates are an excellent way to develop critical thinking skills and independently acquire knowledge.

In November, we are planning a joint trip to our mentors on the topic of debates, the Zywiec Development Foundation, to agree among 4 organizations on the rules of the first debate tournament, which will be aimed at young volunteers from small towns.

Your support is invaluable!

Without your help, it will be challenging to support youth from small towns and villages. Every donation, even the smallest, makes a huge difference. Click here to donate http://goto.gg/57433, even a small amount. We thank you in advance for being with us!

Together, we can achieve more! 

Wondering why we didn't give a photo with the faces of the debaters? It's because Polish law prohibits the use of photos of our subjects for fundraising. Therefore, we avoid photos showing the image of our debaters. We count on your understanding!

Rekrutujemy kolejne szkoly do debat – Twoje wsparcie ma znaczenie!

Wakacje szybko minely, a II Mazurska Liga Debat przeszla do historii. Teraz z nowa energia rekrutujemy kolejne szkoly! Naszym celem jest zebranie czterech 8-10 osobowych druzyn, które przez najblizsze miesiace beda intensywnie pracowac z nami nad przygotowaniem do debat.

Dzieki Twojemu wsparciu mozemy:

  • Rekrutowac nowe szkoly: Rozszerzamy nasza dzialalnosc, aby dotrzec do jeszcze wiekszej liczby uczniów.
  • Wyposazyc biblioteczke: Nasza biblioteczka pelna jest materialów poswieconych debatom, które pomagaja mlodziezy w zdobywaniu wiedzy i rozwijaniu umiejetnosci argumentacji.
  • Dopracowac regulamin: Udoskonalilismy regulamin debat, eliminujac watpliwosci, które napotykalismy w poprzednich edycjach.
  • Organizowac zajecia: Juz wkrótce ruszamy z zajeciami, które przygotuja modziez do udzialu w debatach.

Dodatkowo, zainspirowalismy trzy zaprzyjaznione organizacje z innych regionów Polski do promowania debat oksfordzkich. Wspólnie z nimi zapraszamy mlodych wolontariuszy do udzialu w debatach na tematy takie jak: wolontariat, prawa czlowieka i demokracja. Debaty sa doskonalym sposobem na rozwijanie umiejetnosci krytycznego myslenia i samodzielnego zdobywania wiedzy.

W listopadzie planujemy wspólny wyjazd do naszych mentorów: ekipy z Zywieckiej Fundacji Rozwoju, aby w gronie czterech organizacji uzgodnic zasady pierwszego turnieju debat, skierowanego do mlodych wolontariuszy z malych miejscowosci.

Twoje wsparcie ma wielkie znaczenie!

Bez Twojej pomocy trudno nam bedzie wspierac mlodziez z malych miejscowosci i wsi. Kazda wplata, nawet najmniejsza, ma ogromne znaczenie. Kliknij tutaj http://goto.gg/57433 i wplac, chocby drobna kwote. Z góry dziekujemy, ze jestes z nami! Razem mozemy wiecej! 

Zastanawiasz sie, dlaczego nie dalismy zdjecia z twarzami uczestników debat? To dlatego, ze polskie prawo zabrania wykorzystywania zdjec naszych podopiecznych do pozyskiwania srodków. Dlatego unikamy zdjec prezentujacych wizerunek naszych debatantów. Liczymy na zrozumienie!
