Debate-culture development has been at the heart of EKO’s work for years — until now, mostly in live, interactive formats: debate evenings, trainings, and debate clubs. These three apps are an experiment: we’re testing how far AI can support independent learning in a field that otherwise depends heavily on interaction.
Both apps are prototypes, currently in testing. We welcome your feedback — please send comments to info@kreativoktato.hu.
Global Perspectives
A step-by-step, AI-guided practice tool for exploring global issues — from stating your own position to understanding opposing viewpoints and stakeholder perspectives. The app doesn’t grade answers as right or wrong; it gives feedback on the structure of your reasoning, because understanding isn’t the same as agreement.
Who it’s for: university students, educators, and young people aged 16–30 looking to build their argumentation and perspective-taking skills.

Practicing Objections
An interactive practice tool built on Paul Graham’s hierarchy of disagreement: it walks through seven levels distinguishing weak, personal objections from strong, substantive rebuttal. Theory, a matching exercise, a recognition quiz, and an “Argument Laboratory” help learners recognize — and practice building — the structure of a strong objection.
Who it’s for: students, educators, and anyone building critical-thinking and debate skills — especially useful in rhetoric, philosophy, or communication courses.

Speech Writing Coach
An AI-guided practice tool built on the Socratic method for developing persuasive speeches: an AI coach — “Coach Aristodemus” — doesn’t hand you answers, it sharpens your thinking and rhetoric through probing questions. A 12-step roadmap walks you from your core message all the way to a finished speech.
Who it’s for: students, educators, and anyone preparing for public speaking or persuasive argument — a natural fit for rhetoric, communication, or debate courses.

Sensitization Programs Catalog
A searchable, filterable catalog for educators: it brings ready-to-use sensitization programs together in one place — programs that, depending on topic, can map onto virtually any SDG, since the focus here is sensitization itself, approached through a global-education lens. Entries are organized into six topic categories (digital world; society and community; intercultural relations; sustainable fashion and consumption; environment and sustainability; global development and equal opportunity), and favorites can be bookmarked (“My saved programs”) for quick access later.
Who it’s for: teachers and educators looking for a ready-made, tested sensitization activity for their own classroom or school program — no need to build one from scratch. Note: the catalog itself is currently available in Hungarian only.
