MODERN WORLD DEBATES 2022 INTERNATIONAL DEBATE TOURNAMENT

FMV Ayazağa Işık High School and Science High School Debate Club students became the only school representing Turkey in the international tournament called "MWD 2022 Online Debate Tournament", in which 184 high school students from 11 different countries competed with 46 teams between 14-15-16 of January 2022.

Altan Ege Koçyiğit, Ayşe Deren Aktürk, Arda Kaz, Defne Güler, Ege Karagöz, Feride Duru Özköse, İrem Deniz Kaynak, Mehveş Gökhan, Nil Sarper, Nisan Helvacı, Ömer Karaman, Talya İris Tokbaş, Yağız Efe Çam and Ela Uçan played 4 matches with the teams of United Arab Emirates, South Korea and India, each lasting approximately one hour. Before the tournament, our students had the opportunity to attend a 2-hour Debate training on January 14, 2022.

Our 9th grade student Ayşe Deren Aktürk took part in the panel where the youth's voice to sustainable social change tools was discussed. During the 30-minute panel, together with young people from 10 other countries participating in the panel, our student received great appreciation for the successful answers she gave to the questions asked by the moderator, representing Turkey.

Our students have improved in expressing themselves in English on an international platform and represented their country with pleasing success in the prestigious tournament attended by many students from different countries.

We congratulate our Debate Society Club students who successfully represented our school by participating in the tournament and wish them continued success.
