Doha: As many as debaters along with their coach Jaya Majumder from DPS Modern Indian School participated in the 5th International Schools Debating League (ISDC) conducted by Qatar Debate for the first time ever in the English Category from April 2 to April 7, 2021.
The online international debate tournament ran over a span of 5 days and was attended by 200 speakers representing 50 teams from more than 35 countries. The DPS-Modern Indian School debaters got the opportunity to volunteer and showcase their managerial skills by assisting the Organizing Committee to facilitate the smooth functioning of the tournament whereas the coach joined as an adjudicator.
The students were given various tasks such as checking the presence of all teams throughout, timing the debate speeches and ensuring the smooth flow of all debates. They even had to replace the missing debaters to run a few rounds. The debaters were lucky to learn from some highly competitive debates between some of the top teams of the world.
