- and great achievements from for German language education in the Bay Area!

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ How far should the European Unionโ€™s borders extend? Should non-European countries also be admitted to the EU?

This thought-provoking question took center stage at the Jugend debattiert Nordamerika 2026 final, held in Toronto on October 24.

๐ŸŽ‰ A special congratulations to Anneliese Jarausch and Josephine Anthoff from BAKS+ in Berkeley, California, for making 2nd and 3rd place, respectively, in the DSD final, where they debated with impressive professionalism and skill.

Warm congratulations to Rania Solbach from GISSV (German International School of Silicon Valley) on placing third in the final debate of the German Schools Abroad (Deutsche Auslandsschulen). Here the final issue up for debate was: "Should students be entitled to a certain number of unexcused absences each semester for mental health breaks?"

A great achievement for German language education in the Bay Area all-round! ๐Ÿ‘

Jugend debattiert Nordamerika strengthens critical thinking, persuasive communication, and the ability to engage with different perspectives โ€“ skills that are essential to a vibrant democracy and meaningful international dialogue.

We are delighted to see young people embracing the German language and contributing to a vibrant culture of debate across North America.
