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.

The grand finale was centered on the debate topic: Should a mandatory military service similar to that of Sweden be implemented? Astonishingly, Benjamin argued in favor and ultimately triumphed over three other formidable finalists.

The stand-out event in Berlin also determined the winners for the classes 8-10 - Mathilda Kirschnick from Neubrandenburg in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern triumphed in this category.

In the same "Jugend debattiert" competition, also held in Berlin, a student from Neubrandenburg in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Mathilda Kirschnick, emerged victorious in the category for classes 8-10. This event in the German capital has once again showcased the nation's promising youth, preparing for future "National final" events.
