We present SlavicNLP 2025 Shared Task on Detection and Classification of Persuasion Techniques in Parliamentary Debates and Social Media. The task is structured into two subtasks: (1) Detection, to determine whether a given text fragment contains persuasion techniques, and (2) Classification, to determine for a given text fragment which persuasion techniques are present therein using a taxonomy of 25 persuasion technique taxonomy. The task focuses on two text genres, namely, parliamentary debates revolving around widely discussed topics, and social media, in five languages: Bulgarian, Croatian, Polish, Russian and Slovene. This task contributes to the broader effort of detecting and understanding manipulative attempts in various contexts. There were 15 teams that registered to participate in the task, of which 9 teams submitted a total of circa 220 system responses and described their approaches in 9 system description papers.
