Exciting news from the Prague Debate Spring tournament, which took place remotely from 10 to 11 April!

In the international tournament, which was attended by 80 teams from all over the world, the VJG team - Emilija Pacauskaitė, Pranas Kraučiūnas, Gustė Malinauskaitė and Lidija Radzevičiūtė - made it through to the tournament's eight finals.

At this stage, we are delighted to meet VJG students Radvilas Pelanis and Urte Radavičiūtė, who took part in the tournament together with the Lithuanian National Debate Team, and Amelia Narkute, who took part in the tournament together with the joint team of Vilnius schools.

 

The VJG debaters also performed well in the individual debate: five students (Radvilas, Urtė, Emilija, Lidija and Pranas) were ranked in the top 10 speakers in the EFL (English Foreign Language) category.

Brigita Katlioriūtė, a member of the VJG Debating Club, took part in the tournament as a judge and was appointed Head Judge in the semi-finals.

In short, the members of the VJG Debating Club had a great opportunity to apply their knowledge, deepen it and strengthen their motivation to improve in the future!Prague debate spring 2021

Congratulations to Magda Kraučiūnaitė, a student of class 5e, who took 2nd place in the essay and poem competition "I celebrate Lithuania"! The essays were selected and evaluated from almost 350 entries that came not only from Lithuania, but also from Italy, Poland and America.

Magdė writes: "Freedom is a sea of possibilities and joy. Its blue waters are always being broken by the waves of thoughts and ideas, and its shores of limitations allow for meaningful exploration of the world."

Freedom and the limit, the relationship with memory, which is not somewhere far away and long ago, but right here - in parents, grandparents, in the intoxicating dance of a song festival, in customs. The personal effort to grasp, to name what it means to be not only a Lithuanian, but a free person, is also evident in the works of the other authors-winners. There is an active search for a word, an image, a colour, a sound. The Lithuanian from Punsk's pronouncement, "Little Lithuania", is meaningful, fitting into the palms of Čiurlionis' Kings, into the handful of an exile, into the embrace of a mother, into the essay of a student...

The competition was organised by Member of the European Parliament Prof. Liudas Mažylis on the occasion of February 16th.
