We are proud to announce that our team-Ami Hoxha and Redi Halidini -has secured first place in the National Debating Economics Competition, part of Junior Achievement Albania's Debating Economics initiative. Facing rigorous eliminations and a final on the resolution "This House Believes that the biggest threat to cybersecurity is not technology, but human behavior," Ami and Redi demonstrated exceptional mastery of economic reasoning, empirical analysis, and persuasive discourse to earn the debate cup.
This competition underscores the importance of Debating Economics in cultivating advanced analytical skills, enhancing public-speaking confidence, and preparing future economists to address complex policy and market challenges. We extend our deepest gratitude to our mentors, Arjola Metaliaj and Egla Mansi), whose strategic guidance and rigorous coaching were instrumental in our success. We also thank Junior Achievement Albania, the certified adjudicators, and all supporting coaches and volunteers for their commitment to academic excellence.
Prospective participants who wish to refine their economic arguments, engage with real-world issues, and join a community of rigorous thinkers are invited to DM us to learn how to become a member of The Young Economist debate team.
