Finals to be held at Pan African Parliament
19 April 2008
The finals of the African Schools Debating Championships will be held at the Pan African Parliament in Midrand.
The Pan African Parliament was established in March 2004. Its establishment was informed by a vision to provide a common platform for African peoples to be more involved in duscussions and decision-making on the problems and challenges facing the continent.
The Pan-African Parliamentarians represent all the peoples of Africa. The ultimate aim of the PAP is to evolve into an institution with full legislative powers, whose members are elected by universal adult suffrage.It is fitting that the finals of the premier youth dialogue event on the continent be held at a venue which exists to promote debate and discussion about issues facing Africa.
