Debates

AFET

The Mediterranean Games: Over the years, there has been increasing use of migration as a geopolitical weapon and intolerance to migrants in general. How can Mediterranean countries develop a unified and proactive strategy to safeguard regional stability, uphold human rights, and prevent the instrumentalisation of migration in the Mediterranean region?

CRIM

Itʼs getting Messi: With foreign investors increasing their investment in European football clubs, more unethical sponsorships are being established. What can UEFA do to ensure that European football clubs are run fairly and investments and partnerships regarding both players and clubs are lawful and regulated?

CULT

What language is that: Despite Europe's rich linguistic diversity, minority languages are decreasingly spoken by younger generations. How can we implement inclusive legislation and cultural policies to protect linguistic heritage?

ENVI

People First: Natural disasters, political instability, economic hardship and COVID-19 pandemic, has taken a toll on the mental health of citizens. According to the World Health Organization, 3.2 million people are diagnosed with depression and antidepressant consumption has doubled in 5 years. Bearing in mind the long-term effects of mental health in productivity and wellbeing, how can we help those struggling with their mental health?

FEMM

“Safe” Danger: Every 10 minutes a woman is killed by an intimate partner or a family member. Considering the adverse effect of lockdown during COVID-19 and decreased financing in gender-based violence (GBV), there are limited resources to fight a growing problem. What concrete steps should be taken to address femicide?

ITRE

Claim Your Facecard: In June 2025, Denmark proposed a groundbreaking law giving citizens copyright over their face, body, and voice with the aim of tackling the widespread use of deepfake content. How can we combat deepfakes and better protect the citizens while respecting the digital sovereignty of countries?

LIBE

The politics of fear: With right-wing movements gaining momentum in Europe, political expression is becoming increasingly polarised and often weaponised to fuel division. How can Türkiye, together with the EU, safeguard political pluralism and ensure that freedom of expression is protected for all citizens?

SANT

Catch feelings, not STIs: More than 30% of young people in Europe admit to not using any form of protection during sexual intercourse. This critical data implies a rise in STIs. Considering the concerns of the WHO, how can governments raise awareness among youth about the risks and ensure the use of protection?
