The ninth student competition in presentations in English and German of 1st-year students of the Faculty of Economics & Business in Zagreb - ORGANIZE YOUR TALK - was held online from June 4 to 14, 2021. For the first seven years, students were holding presentations to their colleagues and the jury in lecture halls. Last year and this year they have done it in front of the cameras of their computers and mobile phones.
The presentations were covering topics from economic and social life, with the goals, achievements, and policies of the European Union having a prominent place. Less than 5% of all freshmen who prepared and held presentations on professional topics in a foreign language had reached the final of the competition.
