The big debate

A debating competition in English.

Three Monaco organizations have joined forces to organize a debating competition in English. The Junior Economic Chamber of Monaco (JCEM), the British Association of Monaco (BAM) and the Association of Young Monegasques (AJM) are collaborating on the event to take place on 24th November at the AJM club house.

There are 2 levels of competition, both open to people whose mother tongue is not English:

  • BAM/Hudson Foundation competition for people aged 15+, who are either Monegasque nationals or have been residents for over 10 years
  • BAM/JCEM/AJM competition for employees of Monaco-based companies and members of Monaco-based associations

The BAM/Hudson Foundation competition winners and runners-up will be awarded a cash prize, whereas the BAM/JCEM/AGM winners receive a trophy and commemorative medals.

It's free to participate, and training courses are being organized for the teams of 2 to explain the rules and get some practice. They are to take place at the JCEM offices on 4 Wednesday evenings:

  • 6th Oct
  • 20th Oct
  • 10th Nov
  • 17th Nov

If you'd like to take part, registration forms are available on the websites of each organization, and should be sent to the JCEM.
