Youth Parliament – A Dynamic Debate

Our school organized a Youth Parliament debate on climate change. The students debated with zeal and passion, taking on roles as members of the ruling party and the opposition. Roles such as Speaker, Secretary-General, press members, and even foreign delegates added depth and realism to the proceedings.
The session began with the Speaker outlining the rules and oath taking by the members. The ruling party began by citing their initiatives, with the Prime Minister’s speech serving as the driving force behind their arguments while the opposition relentlessly challenged the reliability of these policies. What emerged was an impassioned stimulating discussion about real world problems.
The Question Hour became a lively exchange of ideas, with participants raising pertinent issues such as pollution , the need for greener technology and the accountability of the government. The session ended with a vote on the bill about womens’ protection which passed with majority vote.
The Mock Parliament showcased the power of thoughtful dialogue to create change. The event was a testament to the spirit of democracy, showcasing that even within the walls of a school, the seeds of change can be sown. Climate change is a shared responsibility, and through this Mock Parliament, we proved that our generation is ready to take it up.
