The halls of IFAK resonated with intellectual fervor this Wednesday as the IFAK Debate Club launched its highly anticipated interclasses debate competition. Aimed at honing the public speaking skills of students and fostering a culture of eloquence, the event promised to be a platform where brilliant thoughts collided to ignite meaningful discourse.

30 debaters composing 10 teams debated. Drawing inspiration from the rich tradition of debate, students were encouraged to articulate their perspectives with clarity and conviction, thus equipping them with invaluable communication skills essential for their personal and professional growth.

Central to the success of the event were the esteemed judges from iDebate Rwanda, whose expertise and guidance lent a sense of gravitas to the proceedings. These super judges not only evaluated the performances but also provided invaluable insights and strategies to the young debaters, empowering them to navigate the complexities of argumentation with finesse.

The competition served as a testament to the commitment of IFAK to holistic education, where academic excellence is complemented by the development of essential life skills. By providing a platform for students to engage in rigorous intellectual discourse, the Debate Club seeks to cultivate critical thinking, empathy, and open-mindedness among participants.

Moreover, the interclasses format of the competition fostered healthy competition and camaraderie among students, encouraging them to learn from each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

As students grappled with complex issues and engaged in spirited exchanges, they not only enhanced their public speaking abilities but also gained a deeper understanding of the world around them.

The IFAK Debate Club extends its heartfelt appreciation to iDebate Rwanda for their invaluable support and guidance in making the competition a resounding success.

With their assistance, the club aims to continue nurturing the next generation of leaders and change-makers, armed with the power of persuasion and the art of rhetoric.

As the curtains draw on the inaugural interclasses debate competition, IFAK stands poised to embark on a journey of intellectual exploration and discovery. With the seeds of eloquence sown in the hearts and minds of its students, the Debate Club remains steadfast in its mission to cultivate a generation of visionary leaders who will shape the future with their words and deeds.
