As part of the Masters of the Digital Future debate project Banka Slovenije is organizing international debate finals, tournament, which will feature the two strongest secondary‑school debate teams selected among teams from seven European countries – Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Montenegro, Slovakia, and Slovenia – who will have debated each other the day before. The young debaters will discuss euro in the digital age.
You are cordially invited to join us for the first International Debate Finals of the Masters of the Digital Future Debate Project, which will be held in Ljubljana on Friday, 22 May 2026, at Cankarjev Dom. The event will be attended by the project’s honorary patron, the President of the Republic of Slovenia Dr Nataša Pirc Musar, who will also hold a public discussion with the finalists.
