AMMAN —
A Crown Prince Foundation (CPF) statement said that students from 12 Jordanian
public and private universities are competing in the 2021–2022 National Student
Debate Competition which started Wednesday, according to the Jordan News
Agency, Petra.
The two-day
competition is part of “Ana usharek” (“I participate”), a youth-centered civic
and democracy training program delivered by the CPF in cooperation with the
National Democratic Institute (NDI) under funding from the USAID.
The competition,
as the name implies, entails a debate between student teams on a topic of
public interest, in which they are expected to use the evidence-gathering and
argumentation skills they acquired through the program to support their
arguments on either side.
The program offers a
series of guided, interactive discussion sessions on democratic concepts and
processes to raise awareness of Jordanian youths on political participation and
create safe avenues for the youth to discuss, debate, and exercise democratic
principles and international best practices.
