1st PFA Online Debate Summer Camp 2020 and Deree LIX Online Debate Tournament
Students of the after-school Debate program of Mandoulides Junior and Senior High School participated in the 1st Online Debate Summer Camp of the Panhellenic Forensics Association, which took place on the online platform Zoom from 18 to 26 June, 2020.
The students had the opportunity to learn about the participation of the Greek team in the Online World Debate Tournament, attended workshops and webinars, analyzed issues of global interest and competed in English debates with remarkable results.
More specifically, students of 9th Grade K. Karagkitsi and O. Kerameos won the 3rd and 6th best speaker awards, while the interschool debate team, members of which were Mandoulides students E. Spyridou (8th Grade) and K. Karagkitsi, reached the knockout rounds and made it to the finals, ranking 1st and 2nd respectively.
They were trained by the coaches of the Greek team that took part in the world tournament.
It is worth noting that last month students also attended the Online Debate Tournament of Deree College, “Deree Invitational LIX (The Online Version)”, in Athens, which was held on Zoom as well.
