The St Patrick’s Youth Organisation (SPYO), in partnership with the Investment Migration Agency Grenada (IMA Grenada), has unveiled the inaugural IMA Grenada–SPYO Primary School Debate Competition 2025. This marks the second year IMA Grenada has served as the title sponsor and the eighth year the event has inspired young debaters across Grenada. For the first time, the competition extends its reach to include primary schools from St David, alongside St Patrick, St John, St Mark, and St Andrew. This year’s theme, ‘Empowering the Future: Youth Leadership as the Key to Nation Building,’ challenges 19 participating schools to explore critical topics such as technology for sustainable development, youth governance, and the implications of artificial intelligence. The competition commenced with the opening ceremony and elimination rounds on October 7 and 8, featuring debates on artificial intelligence. The tournament will progress through preliminary, quarter-final, and semi-final rounds, culminating in the Grand Final on December 3. Substantial awards, including cash prizes totaling $13,000, team awards, and individual recognitions, will honor the participants’ efforts. The event is supported by sponsors such as Rubis, Grenada Cooperative Bank, Republic Bank Grenada Limited, Glenelg Spring Water, True Blue Bay Resort, and the National Lotteries Authority (NLA).
