Budapest Open 2014 is the third edition of the first annual international British Parliamentary debate tournament taking place in Hungary, and one of the most significant international university student events in the region. As a result of enthusiastic cooperation between volunteer students and debate societies from the Central European University, Corvinus University of Budapest and ELTE University, Budapest finally obtained its deserved place on the map of debate contests.
The event is set to host over 150 of the best and brightest debaters and adjudicators from the institutions of more than twenty countries throughout Europe, Asia and the U.S.
Debate as an activity embodies and fosters all the values of a well-functioning democratic society. It aids the evolution of an engaged, active and responsible citizenry through enhanced critical thinking and argumentation skills. By expanding our understanding of different dilemmas and controversies in our society, it gives us a way of resolving our misunderstandings and conflicts in a peaceful manner.
We hope that with this event we will achieve a dual goal: on the one hand, the promotion of formalized debate in Hungary and in the region, and on the other hand, with contestants arriving from all corners of the world, we will be able to show them this beautiful city and our world-class universities.
