Seventeen-year-old Benjamin Greipl, a pupil at Haan's City Gymnasium (Mettmann region), emerged victorious in the national final of "Jugend debattiert" (Youth debates) for students in grades 10-13. The jury praised his impressive conversational skills, according to an announcement by the event organizers after the final competition in the German capital.
