Pécs Debate Academy - the first debate academy in Hungary
The Pécs Debate Academy is a unique regional initiative started in 2013. In 2016, PDA functioned also as CEEPUS Summer School on Migration, which provided an opportunity for students from all corners of the world to get engaged with a series of debates on topics closely connected with our transnational and "glocal" world.
British Parliamentary Debate system was introduced to the participants as method of debating. Level of debate academy: NOVICE. The most active participants gained 8 ECTS credits. Pécs Debate Academy is way more than just a summer academy. Come and join as a participant and make friends, experience Hungary and Pécs as its best.
The Pecs Debate Academy will give participants to do more than just study. We pay special attention to providing the participants with a very enjoyable and unforgettable stay. Our social programs include concerts, trip to the countryside, interactive and cultural events, karaoke party, sport contests. The focus of the debates and presentations is on the higher education and student life of the 21st century. Following the lectures of invited experts the participants of PDA 2017 will attend a debate contest and a final debate tournament. Various intercultural programs will also be organized for the attendants at the different locations of the city of Pécs and of the University of Pécs that will celebrate the 650th anniversary of its foundation.
