At the Winter Holiday Open in Zagreb, a World Schools Debate tournament, USA Debate A<\/em>\u00a0(Liz Yount<\/strong>, Josh May<\/strong>, Aditya Dhar<\/strong> and Ella Michaels<\/strong>) participated the final in proposition against Be\u017eigrad\u00a0Green Stars (<\/em>Matija Pu\u0161nik<\/strong>, <\/em>Reja Debevc<\/strong>, <\/em>Filip Koro\u0161ec<\/strong> in Opposition on the motion TH regrets the commercialization of feminism<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The winning team be\u017eigrad Green Stars – \u00a9 WHO<\/p><\/div>\n

The proposition debated the intersectionality of feminism, secondly the limitation of political action and lastly the resulting commodification and need for opposition to the system.<\/p>\n

Opposition argued against this with the arguments that the commercialization will lead to popularisation of feminism and a concrete political change, especially in terms of self perception of women, critical mass for legislative change and role models. Additionally they argued about the impact on feminism in the developing world.<\/p>\n

The tournament was ultimately won by Be\u017eigrad Green Stars on a 4-3 split decision. The final was adjudicated by\u00a0Geetha Creffield<\/strong> in chair, Tudor Musat<\/strong>, Laura Alviz<\/strong>, Ela Jurko, Filip<\/strong> Dobrovi\u010d<\/strong>, Piotr Pospi\u0161il<\/strong> and Martin \u0161edovi\u010d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Matija Pu\u0161nik from Be\u017e<\/em>igrad Green Stars was declared best speaker of the tournament.<\/p>\n
