The Moraitis Cup is a highly competitive British Parliamentary debate and Impromptu Speaking competition that is hosted every year at the Moraitis School in January. This year, thirteen ACS Athens students (from the Middle School and the Academy) participated in the competition, which took place this past weekend, Friday 12th and Saturday 13th January, 2024. Students had the opportunity to develop their debating and impromptu speaking skills, as well as to interact and engage with students who share similar passions from other schools. Special thanks to Mr. Philippos Saccopoulos and Ms. Elena Bellou for volunteering their time and expertise as judges.
