3 INTRODUCTION

iDebate Rwanda is a Non-Governmental Organization that uses debate to change the lives

of young Rwandans and East Africans. iDebate Rwanda gives students the tools to change

their own world by teaching them how to think critically, how to solve problems creatively,

and how to impact their own society. By taking part in debate, students become engaged

learners, critical thinkers, and leaders who are effective advocates for themselves and their

communities. Debate transforms the disengaged learners, those with poor academic

performance, into confident students who achieve higher test scores, become school

leaders, and are likely to become more successful in their professional career than their non-

debating peers.

In order to provide a platform for debate in both Rwanda and East Africa that is consistent

and challenging to the students, iDebate Rwanda started several initiatives in 2014. These

initiatives help students from the region practice their debate and public speaking skills.

These initiatives included the Debate League, East African Tournament, National

Championship and the iDebate Camp. The Debate League functions like a normal sports

league and the participating schools are only Rwandan schools, the East African tournament

brings students together from the five EAC countries to debate, the National Championship

participants includes only Rwandan students and finally the Debate Camp invites students

throughout the whole region who are interested in participating and developing their debate

skills.



KIGALI DEBATE LEAGUE

(KDL)



4 KIGALI DEBATE LEAGUE: BACKGROUND

iDebate Rwanda is currently working with several secondary schools to promote and enrich

the students’ debating skills. In Rwanda, iDebate works with 22 schools and partners with

other Non-Governmental Organizations throughout four East African countries that facilitate

debate programs in their respective countries.

Currently, the following schools participate in the iDebate programs:

King David Academy

Lycee de Kigali

Lycee Notre Dame De Citeaux

APE Rugunga

Fawe Girls School

Kagarama Secondary

Riviera High School

IFAK

Gs Kanombe

Gashora Girls Academy of Science

and Technology

Lycee LaColombiere

Green Hills Academy

St. Paul Academy

Aiper Nyandugu

Martys Secondary School

Agahozo Youth Village

Cornerstone Leadership Academy

The schools mentioned above have all had students participate in the several debate

programs.

The year 2014 has been a success for both the iDebate Rwanda team and participating

students. Due to the different activities carried out and the different experiences gained by

both the team and the students.

The iDebate League functions just like any other sporting league, students meet on a

monthly basis while school is in progress. This year students competed on a monthly basis

on the motion “Rwanda should have education reforms in order to effectively tackle modern

challenges”. With Rwanda having human capital as its main resource, iDebate saw it fit to

discuss the above-mentioned motion. As a land-locked country with limited space and a

large ever-growing population, Rwanda is facing many modern challenges such as shifting

to a knowledge based economy, unemployment, limited natural resources, high birth rate,

etc. Through these competitions, students suggested policies, plans and ideas that could be

implemented by the government in order to help the education system solve the modern

challenges.



In 2014, iDebate successfully hosted five (5) league tournaments:

Table 1 Kigali Debate League Tournaments

4.1 KIGALI DEBATE LEAGUE: TOURNAMENT SUMMARIES

14th February: The league hosted 158 students from 14 schools. The tournament was

graced with so much vigor, since it was the first tournament of the year. The students’

participation was positive in terms of attendance and also debating. iDebate was pleased to

have two new participating schools; St.Paul High School and Marty’s Secondary School.

However, as the teams carried on with the days’ activities, it was evident that teams who had

previously participated in the 2013 league where noticeably more dominant than the new

teams, which was a welcomed discovery for the iDebate team members.

The tournament registered a big success especially in terms of the timing, preparations and

also judging. Although there were instants we had a few problems, for example, the judging

experience was problematic. Students stated their disappointment in some cases over the

judge’s experience. iDebate took note and began exploring how to better prepare judges



Picture 1 FAWE GIRLS' team

Overall, the day went as expected. We had six rounds of debate; three preliminary rounds,

quarter finals, semi finals and finals. The finals saw FAWE girls emerge as victors. It had

been a challenging previous year for FAWE Girls’ School and finally their hard work paid off.

Additionally, the other great experience was seeing a new student to the iDebate league rise

as the best speaker among all the 158 students that participated. Gihozo Sandrine from

Marty’s Secondary School, was the best speaker according to the several judges that judged

her in all the three rounds. It was her first time at the competition, and secondly it was the

first time her school participated in the league. This is what she had to say,” its

unbelievable, this being my first time and I have come up as one of the best. This

gives me courage to keep doing debates and also increase on the critical thinking

capacity.”

15th March: Similar to our program in February, the leagues’ attendance was exciting.

iDebate hosted 167 students from 18 schools – our largest tournament yet. As the league

progresses, the students argumentation strengthens and, it is clear that the students are

beginning to have a deeper understanding of the motion. As a result of this increased

understanding, iDebate had the chance to see great arguments made about the year’s

motion regarding education reform.

As mentioned, in February students expressed their dissatisfaction with the judging. Prior to

the tournament, to ensure judges were more prepared, iDebate conducted a judges’ training

and so the judges had been briefed about the procedures.



Picture 2 Gashora Girls Academy's team

This tournament was graced by the participation of two new schools, GS Kanombe and

Green Hills Academy. For the two schools, this was a long awaited opportunity for them to

compete with their fellow students. The tournament saw Gashora Girls’ Academy emerge as

the winners. Since joining the league, GGAST has been dominant in all of the tournaments

and once again it has managed to rise as the winner. One of the team members Angela

stated, ”the year is starting pretty good, after seeing the last tournament we

participated up to the finals and now we have managed to win this one”.

Kassy Irebe from Green Hills Academy emerged as the best speaker of the 2nd league

tournament. It was her first time in the league. Kassy had been debating but has not been

participating in iDebate programs. Having her join us and win has pleased the iDebate team

and increased the level of competition.

14th June, the league once again kicked off after a long period. The students had been busy

with other iDebate debating tournaments for example the East African Tournament. This

time the league hosted 153 students from 15 schools. The competition within the league was

unbelievable; all the 15 schools have acquired a good level of debate since all the schools

participating had gotten at least three to five trainings by an iDebate trainer.

The level of research about the motion had gone in depth with most of the teams. Although

in some instances three or four schools claimed not to have had adequate training and this

was recorded by the training team and put into consideration for the next trainings.



Picture 3 Green Hills Academy's team

During this competition, iDebate realized that some schools wanted to expand on the

number of students participating. For example schools are supposed to register three teams

however some schools started bringing more than that. Schools like Gashora Girls’

Academy of Science and Technology (GGAST), LNDC were some of the schools that had

big number turn up. This is what one of the patrons had to say” we have so many students

in our school debate club, each of the students feel the need to participate in the

league. That’s why we have brought a big number of students.” iDebate promised to put

the above problem into consideration on how to solve that.

With the above brief experience about the days’ activities, the competition was graced with a

victory by Green Hills Academy. This was the second time that Green Hills Academy was

participating in the league and their victory proved their work ethic. The winning team

expressed themselves and they said teamwork and continued research is one of their

greatest weapons. Also the competition had the best speaker come from one of the

dominating schools, Mazimpaka Christelle a student from FAWE Girls’ school emerged as

the best speaker.

23rd August, the further we go into the academic year the league becomes more and more

competitive. This time the league hosted 160 students from 14 schools. Unlike other

competitions, this time most of the participants were in the non-candidate classes (s3 and

s6). Initially, the iDebate team expected the debating to be lower quality due to the age of

the debaters, however to our surprise the tournament was very competitive in spite of the

fact that most of the schools had their junior debaters taking on the challenge.



Picture 4 Kassy R. Irebe

After some of the schools informed us in the previous tournament that they wished to have

more trainings, the iDebate training team made sure that the stated problem had been

addressed with necessary schools. As a result, all of the teams had similar experience from

a debate training perspective. At this tournament, the average age of participants was 16-

years-old, which was an exciting experience for all.

The tournament was once again won by Green Hills Academy. It came to the iDebate team’s

notice that Green Hills was having a lot of practice at school more so because of their school

patron who also happens to be a member of the iDebate training team,” am so excited with

the level of commitment of the Green Hills Academy students, which was made

evident by their back to back victory.”(Jean Michel). In addition to winning the league,

Green Hills also got the slot of the Best Speaker as Kassy Irebe for the second time

emerged as the best speaker.

14th September, the venue for the tournament was changed to Lycée De Kigali (LDK).

Being the last tournament of the year, the expectations were high for both the students and

the iDebate team. The league hosted 154 students from 16 schools, experienced judges,

smart and well-researched arguments and determined students. The days’ activities and

final tournament ended colorfully.

The tournament was so competitive. The hosting school (LDK) fielded a very young but

experienced team. LDK had one of the teams comprised of only 13 year olds. The young

lads were so competitive to an extent of proceeding to the quarterfinals. This is what one of

the young stars stated: “we have debated against some of the best debaters and leaving

out the fact that they are older than us, bu we managed to advance to the quarter



finals. This is a great achievement to both us as young people as well as new

debaters.” (Sinzi Jules).

Picture 5 Kagarama Secondary School's team

There was no better way to end the tournament of the year with one of the most consistent,

determined and hard working teams winning, Kagarama Secondary School had been

participating in the league since it started in February 2013. This was the first time that the

team managed to rise as the winners of the competition after having participated in all the

previous tournaments. There was a lot of excitement as the students celebrated together

with the winning team.

Uwase Rangira from Gashora Girls’ Academy of Science and Technology (GGAST) also

had all reasons to celebrate as she took back the trophy for the Best Speaker. Uwase is one

of the longest participating students in iDebate programs. The whole days’ activities went as

expected, the students were very thankful to the iDebate team for great work and the impact

the iDebate team has had on their lives.

The final words from the iDebate Rwanda team were thankful to both the school

administrations and the students. Since students’ academic year was coming to an end,

iDebate got the chance to remind all the students about the holiday debate program -

iDebate Camp 2014.



THE EAST AFRICAN

DEBATE TOURNAMENT



5 THE EAST AFRICAN DEBATE TOURNAMENT: THE BACKGROUND

The iDebate Rwanda team, in cooperation with Writing Our world and Pan African

Movement, started the inaugural debate for the AU 50 year’s jubilee debate competition in

2013. The competition was deemed a success. Therefore iDebate Rwanda, Writing our

World and MGI consultants, a youth organization in Kenya, organized the second East

5.2.4 Concluding remarks

The debate competition was a great experience not only for the students but also for iDebate

as an organization. We were able to compare our students against other students from the

East African countries. Though we were not able to bring back the trophy to our country, we

learned a lot and noticed many victories. While Kenyan teams won three debates and

Uganda won 24 of them, Rwandan teams won 31 debates. Also among the 20 best teams,

11 were Rwandans. The students, the teacher, and the iDebate team were pleased by our

performance and with more training; we expect to bring home the trophy next year.



#IDEBATECAMP2014



6 THE #IDEBATECAMP2014

6.1 BACKGROUND

Debate Camp Rwanda was created by iDebate Rwanda to provide intensive debate training

for their existing students in preparation for their final competition of the year, the winners of

which will represent Rwanda in a regional competition for all of east Africa next year. CLDS

were invited to write and deliver the training program by iDebate project manager, Samuel

Baker, who joined the club in August 2013 after arriving in the UK to commence his

university education. A team of four volunteers was quickly assembled, with a cumulative

total of over 15 years of debate training experience. The camp was largely funded by a grant

from the GOETHE INSTITUT: Liaison Office Kigali. However, shortly before the camp was

due to open, it became clear that IDebate required an additional £2500 if they were to

achieve their goal of keeping the camp CLDS subsequently organized Project Rwanda, a

campaign to raise the remaining money by staging four events in 10 days with little more

than a month to spare.

6.2 ATTENDANCE

Picture 10 Students in the main hall

In total 150 students attended Debate Camp, 50 student from Kenya and 100 students

coming from different school in Rwanda majority of whom were in their final or penultimate

year of high school. Most of the students originated from the capital city of Kigali, but some

also heralded from the more distant regional provinces of Rwanda. The selection of the

students attending the camp was not systematic therefore meaning that it was upon the



students doing registration on the iDebate website with a registration fee of Rwf 25,000.

However some students took it upon themselves of arranging themselves according to their

respective schools. The schools in attendance are as follows;

Agahozo Shalom Youth Village

APACOPE

Cornerstone Leadership Academy

Ecole D’art De Nyundo

FAWE Gahini

FAWE Kigali

Gashora Girls Academy

Green Hills Academy

GSNDL Byimana

IFAK

6.3 THE TRAINERS

Picture 11 Coaches

We had five trainers come from England (Central London Debate Society). The five trainers

all have different debating experience as mentioned below;

Tony Koutsoumbos

Founder of the Central London Debating Society, Tony created CLDS in 2009 after failing to

find a London based debating club open to non-students. He has been debating for 11 years

and after running a series of intermittent training workshops for CLDS, he founded his own

social enterprise in July 2012 and has since delivered three debate training series for young

professionals and weekly training workshops for two independent schools and Tower

Hamlets Youth Council in London. In 2014 he will be delivering a new debate training

program for state schools in south London, sponsored by Thomson Reuters, to demonstrate

how debating can improve social mobility in low-income areas.

Jack Watling

Jack is an investigative journalist reporting for Reuters, the Guardian and New Statesman.

He has covered stories from smuggling and corruption in the Fishing industry, the extent of

technically insolvent companies operating in the UK, the challenges of ethical investment

and social issues including homelessness and disability. Jack has been competing as a

debater since high school and joined CLDS as a debate trainer in 2011.Jack was

responsible for drafting the curriculum material for the CLDS debate program used at Debate

Camp Rwanda.



Jordan Anderso

Originally from Florida in the United States and now an employee of the American Embassy

in London, Jordan is something of a global celebrity in the world of competitive debating,

where he enjoys a stunning track record as a speaker and tournament judge. During his time

at SOAS University, he won numerous inter-varsity competitions, facing down the best

student debaters from across the world. He also has previous experience of mentoring

school pupils in debating and has been an active member of CLDS since its inception in

2009.

Picture 12 Good food at the camp

6.4 LANGUAGE

Almost all of the students spoke, read, and wrote English, Swahili, and French at a level

close to that expected of their UK counterparts even though the government of Rwanda only

changed the national language from French to English six years ago.

6.5 GENDER BALANCE

The gender balance of the camp was approximately 73% female and 27% male, an

approximate reflection of the nation’s parliament and the population as a whole. The classes

were mixed, while dormitories, bathrooms, and showering facilities were single-sex.



6.6 THE TRAINING PROGRAM

6.6.1 Overview

The program designed by the Central London Debating Society in consultation with iDebate

Rwanda consisted of a combination of theory, practice, interactive exercises, games, and

mock debates for 7 days followed by a day of practice debates prior to the 2-day competition

that concluded the camp with a day off in between the two.

The students were divided into five class for the start since the first half of the camp was

attended by only the Rwandan students, from Monday(8th)-Friday(12th). All trainers followed

a single lesson plan;

Picture 13 Students in class

This was done to ensure a consistent quality of education for all, while retaining the

discretion to slightly alter it in accordance with their students’ needs there were students that

were returning for the second time to the camp and they had they ate the ones that formed

the fifth class. The Kenyan team arrived late to the camp due to several reasons some of

which were due to the distance from Kenya, the team arrived on Friday (12th) night. Saturday

morning, we had a special arrangement for the Kenyan team. Since most of the students in

the Kenyan team were new to the debate exercise, iDebate had the senior class conduct

trainings for them during the morning g session and in the afternoon the Kenyan team went

8:00-10:00 10:00-10:30 10:30-12:00 12:00-2:00 2:00-4:00 4:00-6:00

Lesson Break Lesson Lunch Practice Sports



through a practice with all the Rwandan teams. And finally on the final day of practice, the

Kenyan team had a two hour session with the CLDS trainers.

6.6.2 Theory

6.6.2.1 Public speaking

Speech delivery and rhetorical devices were the key themes of public speaking lessons.

Students were taught about the importance of breathing, posture, and enunciation, and how

to convey a broad range of emotions by changing tone. They were exposed to the speeches

of acclaimed historical figures and shown how to analyse them for their use of rhetorical

devices such as: the rule of three, epiphora and anaphora, alliteration, and apophasis to

name but a few. Finally, they were encouraged to experiment with impromptu speaking and

deterred from writing scripts.

Picture 14 Students in class room

6.6.2.2 Critical thinking

Structure and the burden of proof were the key themes of critical thinking lessons. Students

were taught how to construct a basic policy plan complete with aims and objectives,

methods, stakeholders, and predicted outcomes. They also learnt the basics of speech-

writing, including the use of signposting, how to prioritise their points in order of strength, the

difference between an assertion and an argument, and timing. Finally, they were schooled in

the use of logic and how to analyse arguments for logical flaws and effectively rebut them.



6.6.3 Exercises

6.6.3.1 “‘Show, don’t tell’

This exercise enables the speaker to showcase their best qualities by telling a story about

themselves and asking the rest of the class to guess what attribute they were attempting to

convey. The aim is to demonstrate that giving an example always beats simply making a

claim. The result is a collection of unprompted responses describing an array of positive

qualities, which has the added benefit of convincing the speaker that this is how their

classmates see them, thereby boosting their own self-worth.” Making a claim without

giving an example is as good as giving your opponents space and time to make a

serious count-attack against your strong argument (Magezi Joshua).

6.6.3.2 Group policy planning

In order to fully understand the roles of each individual speaker in a debate, the students

worked in groups to perform the function of a single speaker. In this setup, there were five

groups. Group 1 focused on planning a policy and writing a speech arguing in favor of its

implementation. Group 2 had to plan for the same policy, but then write a speech opposing

it. Group 3 was responsible for critically appraising Group 1’s speech and Group 4 did the

same for Group 2. Finally, Group 5 summarized the debate and delivered their verdict.

6.6.4 Games

6.6.4.1 Alley debate

Students formed two lines, standing opposite each other. The first student in line was

presented with a moral dilemma – e.g. whether to pick up a lost wallet – and tasked with

making an argument in favour of it. The student opposite then had to rebut the first argument

and explain why they would not pick up the wallet. The next student on the other side of the

isle (the alley) summarily responded and added their new argument and so on. The purpose

of this game was to introduce students to the skills of rebuttal and impromptu speaking.

6.6.4.2 Balloon debate

Essentially a panel debate, the premise of this game was that the contestants were sharing

aballoon that could not hold their weight and had to make their case to the audience who

decided who should be thrown out (figuratively) and who should stay. The panellists were

tasked with presenting all the arguments as to why only they should be saved and submitting

to a cross-examination by their fellow speakers and the audience. The purpose of this game

was to simulate the pressure and scrutiny of a competitive debate in a fun and supportive

environment.



6.6.4.3 Mock debates

1. We staged a mock competition on day 3 of the debate camp to gage the initial progress of

the students, which consisted of prepared debates and impromptu speaking. Teams were

challenged to alternate between proposing and opposing different motions and making short

3 minute speeches with minimal preparation. Individual speakers were tasked with delivering

short 2 minute speeches on an assigned topic followed by longer 4 minute speeches on a

topic of their choice.

2. The final day of the training program was used the seniors trained our students and

Kenyans

Picture 15 Students Judging debate of other students

6.6.5 The competition

6.6.5.1 Overview

The competition was held at Byimana on the weekend of December 13-15 with the students

divided into teams of three, representing their schools, while unaffiliated students were

grouped together so they could also take part. The tournament began with a group stage,

thereby ensuring every team had the opportunity to compete in at least three debates,

before proceeding to the knockout stages. Each debate lasted approximately 45 minutes, in

addition to 20 minutes preparation time, once the teams had been told the topic to be

debated.



6.6.5.2 The teams

The students were split into two different steams with the members of the Kigali Debate

League contesting the tournament separately from the less experienced remainder.

However, all teams debated the same topics but in their respective steams and were judged

using the same criteria.

6.6.5.3 Format

iDebate Rwanda adopted the World Schools Debating format for the competition. Teams

consisted of three speakers with designated responsibilities, each allotted six minutes of

speaking time, one of whom then spoke again for a further three minutes to deliver their

team’s final summary speech. Teams were allowed to cross examine their opponents by

raising a ‘point of information’ during the middle three minutes of their speech.

USA TOUR



7 USA TOUR

7.1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

At the very beginning, iDebate Rwanda would like to thank the Almighty God for whose

kindness we were mentally and physically sound for the execution of the tour and

preparation of this report. His neverending grace and abundance for which we are able to

execute our activities is unfathomable.

iDebate Rwanda would like to extend its gratitude to the U.S embassy, Turkish Airlines and

the Rwanda Governance Board for their partnership in providing the team with air tickets.

Special thanks goes to the Rwandan Embassy in Washington D.C for their moral support

and ensuring our travel credentials were in check.

And, last but not least, iDebate Rwanda would further like to extend heartiest gratitude to

Civis institute, our Fiscal Sponsor while in the U.S.



7.2 ABSTRACT

This detailed report consists of the iDebate U.S Tour, an educational tour organized by

iDebate Rwanda in partnership with U.S universities to give six young debaters an

opportunity to share ‘the voices from a post genocide generation” 20 years after Rwanda’s

recovery from the Genocide.

With the main objective was creating awareness about Rwanda 20 years after the genocide

against the Tutsi’s, and the focus was using Debate through U.S universities as a platform of

discussion. Over the course of 10 weeks, this tour embraced 17 university visits from around

both the East and West coast. This tour commenced on the 6th October-15th December

2014.

iDebate Rwanda is a non-governmental youth organization that uses debate as a platform

that sharpens students’ minds by helping them to think critically which in turn builds

character development and fosters social transformation. The iDebate U.S tour managed to

get to 13 cities and met over 1,000 students. This tour enabled iDebate Rwanda to create a

global and community network as well as partnerships for Rwanda as a country and the

iDebate students.



7.3 BACKGROUND

iDebate Rwanda is a Non-Governmental Organization that is using debate to change the

lives of young Rwandans and East Africans. iDebate Rwanda gives students the tools to

change their own world by teaching them how to think critically, how to solve problems

creatively and how to impact their own society. By taking part in debate, students become

engaged learners, critical thinkers and leaders who are effective advocates for themselves

and their communities. Debate transforms the disengaged learners, those with poor

academic performance into confident students who achieve higher test

Rwanda is a country that is known for only one tragic event that happened 20 years ago.

The 1994 genocide against the Tutsis led to the loss of one million innocent lives, destroyed

not only the ability of a Rwandan to trust a fellow Rwandan but also the ability of the rest of

the world to trust Rwanda. While the genocide was raging over Rwanda, the rest of the world

remained silent and abandoned Rwanda to its fate.

Now 20 years later, Rwanda is a new country. With the aim to restore peace and accelerate

the development of Rwanda; it has put in place a vision 2020 to act as a guide in moving

Rwanda to a middle-income country. Since 2000, the vision 2020 has guided Rwanda to

tremendous changes and given a new face to the country of Rwanda. The county that was

once known for murder and destruction is now being known for hope, peace and as a model

of development.

In the same spirit to move forward and restore the world’s trust in Rwanda, iDebate

Rwanda organized a tour in USA high schools and universities. This tour aimed at raising

awareness about Rwanda and how a small debate program for high school students is trying

to bring change by bringing together students from all walks of life to debate and argue to

find solutions to some of the most pressing problems that Rwanda faces. Though debate,

students from different background learn how to disagree in a peaceful way; they learn how

to passionately oppose each other’s ideas without the need to kill each other. In a setting

such as Rwanda, debate is a new culture and the impact is visible not only in the students’

performance and ability to think critically about problems but also in the culture that becomes

more welcoming to peaceful conflict of thoughts and ideas.

7.4 OBJECTIVES:

To raise awareness about Rwanda, 20 years after the genocide against the Tutsis

To create a global community/connection

To create partnership with universities in the USA for cultural exchange programs

To raise resources that would make debate grow in Rwanda and in Africa.



7.5 FUNDING

The tour was a great success due to a number of sponsors that made the tour a reality;

The Public Affairs Office of the USA Embassy-Kigali

Turkish Airlines

Embassy of Rwanda in Washington Dc

Civis institute

Rwanda Governance Board

one of the important facts focused on were the percentage of women in legislatures within

both countries. The U.S made up 18.4% of women in congress whereas Rwanda made up

64% of women in parliament. The audience mentioned that one of the advantages of the

quota system in houses of legislature is that it would foster gender balance as this would

increase women participation.

value than justice” filled the room with a lot of opinions of justice vs. forgiveness being an

individual decision

The audience came to a harmony that forgiveness is of more value for the transition of a

society but justice would be of a more important value in a post conflict society.

7.7 CONSTRAINTS FACED

During the execution of the tour, there were a number of constraints faced despite the

success of the tour.

The difference in time zones was one of the challenges faced in the beginning of the

tour but the team later adjusted to the time.

The difference in food was challenging to the team as some of the members had

constant would experience stomachaches.

The length of the tour was a bit too long that it affected the finances negatively. The

team could only work within its fixed budget despite the additional expenses.

Minor sicknesses such as constant colds were anticipated due to the change in the

weather.

WELLSPRING ACADEMY IN IDEBATE CAMP 2014

The 2014 iDebate Camp was a wonderful experience for the Wellspring Academy students who represented the others. The Camp that started on the 6th and ended on 17th December 2014 was held in Ruhango at Byimana Groupe Scolaire Notre Dame de Lourde and brought together students from Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya. Wellspring Academy was represented by five students: Uwase Donatha, Mutangana Natasha, Joshua Magezi , Umukiza Bernice and Angella Kagabo accompanied by teachers Prossy Arinaitwe and Dieudone Mbonigaba.

Apart from debate training and competitions, students were lucky to have leadership skills training and career guidance from various experienced trainers. Wellspring academy was one of the schools that were new in the iDebate activities but this did not stop our own Magezi Joshua Grade 11 science from emerging the second best speaker. Another fascinating experience was the idea of teaming up the new students regardless of their schools. The senior students then took the lead to train the new ones under supervision of the iDebate facilitators. This made it possible for students to discuss ideas with each other and make new friends.

Students also had an outreach program to help the needy as their slogan goes; “We are debaters for a change.” They visited an elderly family and a sick child in the local hospital and gave them support. They also managed to pay mutuelle du santé for the four neediest people in

Byimana village upon which everyone in the neighbourhood expressed their gratitude for our youth.

Below are some of the pictures taken at during the camp.

On the last day of the camp, our students Uwase Donatha and Mutangana Natasha were able to interview some people including the Idebate staff, the Matron, the senior students and the new students and it went as follows;

1. Donatha and the iDebate staff members Monique and Christine.

Donatha: How do you plan to get all schools at least in Rwanda involved in iDebate activities and how do you plan to do it?

Monique Ekisa: Through iDebate trainings all around the country we hope to get most schools involved.

Donatha: That are your future plans/goals for iDebate- Rwanda? And please assure us that such activities will always be a priority.

Christine Teta: Having an Africa-wide iDebate championship is our biggest goal that we look forward to achieving soon. And yes we plan to continue with iDebate activities so that you may be the ones to train the younger generation to come so that we can make this world a better place with the bright future that we want so much.

2. Donatha and the girls’ Matron during the camp

Donatha: Madam, would you please comment on our behaviour during the entire camp?

Matron: The girls were amazing! As their matron, I had the easiest time controlling them. They are stylish and decent save for a few. They are a combination of beautiful and talented girls but there is one thing: Girls, next time make your beds and fold your clothes neatly!

3. Natasha and Nshuti Emmy from Kagarama Secondary school. Attending the camp for the first time.

Natasha: What most important lesson have you learnt during the camp?

Nshuti: Socially, life is good in the camp; I got to learn a lot from different people from different walks of life. Basically, I was blown away plus. Not only did I learn how to debate but also I acquired public speaking and leadership skills.

4. Natasha and Berabose Aline Joyce from Martyrs Secondary School, attending the camp for the second time

Natasha: What have you benefited from the camps and how do you plan to give back to the Rwandan society?

Aline: I made a lot of friends, I learnt how to train my community in debating throughout my training for trainers sessions. From my first year if idebate camp- 2013, I was encouraged to create my own debating club in my school and the sector I reside and the main reason for my debate club is to improve public participation and conflict resolution.

5. Donatha with two Kenyan students: Michael Rading’ Kakamega and Mordecai Ng’a Ng’a

Donatha: What did you like most in this camp?

Michael: I must admit the training team was very passionate and that led me to become the critical thinker that iDebate requires us to be.

Mordecai: I love the way Rwandans embrace debate and imitating them has helped me to be a good public speaker. Furthermore I appreciate the fact that Rwandans were willing to teach me some French words.

iDebate Rwanda visits Muskie Archives

Public speaking and the art of moving forward

BY ADAM MAUREY

• NOVEMBER 5, 2014

ADAM MAUREY Staff Writer

Twenty years have passed since the beginning of what Bates Professor Abraham Peck called “the

world’s most efficient genocide.” A direct descendent of Holocaust survivors, Peck himself stands as

a testament to the inescapable nexus of genocide. Of course, Professor Peck is but one of many

touched by genocide. Presenting this Monday in the Muskie Archives were the organizers of iDebate

Rwanda, many of whom are descendants and survivors of Rwanda’s 1994 genocide.

In the crowded second level of Muskie, however, the mass murder of Rwanda’s Tutsi was discussed

only in brief, as an introduction. The mission of iDebate Rwanda is not to grapple with and steep in

the horrors inflicted upon an innocent people. It is to provide the youth of Rwanda a path to

reconciliation with their tragic history. iDebate Rwanda seeks to establish a dialectic between the

silenced histories of both victim and perpetrator and the generation paying for something it was born

into, all through debate.

In a country in which 60 percent of the population is under the age of 24 and 80 percent of the country

lives in poverty, iDebate Rwanda teaches the art of debate to the younger generation, providing a

means to ascend their present circumstances and to address the lasting legacy of the 1994 genocide.

By learning to think and speak critically, these young students learn to question and challenge the

authority upon which the genocide was originally carried out: that of their elders and peers.

http://www.thebatesstudent.com/news/

http://www.thebatesstudent.com/author/adam-maurey/

http://www.thebatesstudent.com/author/adam-maurey/

By embracing free speech, these students answer the questions posed by iDebate International

Coordinator Jean Michel Habineza.

“How do these people live together,” Habineza asks rhetorically. “How do we want our children to

live? Who is more hurt [Tutsi or Hutu]?”

Unlike the Holocaust, which ended with many Jewish survivors fleeing Europe to settle elsewhere, the

Tutsi and Hutu were left to live together at the end of the 1994 genocide. How were these peoples,

each with immeasurable amounts of pride, shame, guilt, pain, and memory to reconcile their marred

collective past and productively move into the future? The condition of being born a “victim” or born

a “perpetrator,” a condition felt by many young Rwandans, provides no answers.

In challenging the validity of their own views, as well as those of their peers and history itself, these

future leaders are through debate equipping themselves to see that there is, as Habineza argues, no

measure for pain, that neither Tutsi nor Hutu can fully accept the blame, guilt, etc. left for the future

generations to clean up. The purpose of iDebate is to move Rwanda forward.

Founded in October 2012, iDebate will in a few years have graduated several thousand from its ranks,

many of whom will, and currently do, pursue debate as a meaningful medium for expression and self-

exploration. In addition to hosting monthly debate tournaments in which over twenty-two high

schools compete, iDebate also hosts a series of higher-level debating leagues. In addition to

representing Rwanda through the Kigali Debate League, East African Debate League, and public

debate venues, iDebate Rwanda also hosts a debate camp in which instructors from London come and

work with students intensely with the young debaters.

Although debate as a tool for expression and understanding lies mainly in the hands of the Rwandan

upper classes, the young debaters admit wholly that, in order for meaningful change to ensue, the

http://www.thebatesstudent.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/iRwanda.jpg

language of debate must begin to include the official language (aside from the colonial remnants,

English and French), Kinyarwanda, or Rwanda’s most spoken language.

ELKINS - The Calliduz Debate Team of Davis & Elkins College and iDebate Rwanda will discuss “In the

aftermath of genocide, is forgiveness a more important value than justice” at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, October 29

in Halliehurst Great Hall on the College campus. The event, sponsored by Calliduz Debate Team and the D&E

Office of Academic Affairs, is free and open to the public.

“We chose to bring iDebate Rwanda to campus because their message is powerful,” says Brent Saindon,

instructor of communications at D&E and faculty advisor to the Calliduz Debate Team. “Since 2012, they have

done an incredible job in organizing debate leagues for Rwandan students, providing training and teaching

students to be unafraid to speak their mind.”

In addition to the public debate, members of iDebate Rwanda will visit classrooms. The iDebate Rwanda team

is comprised of Christine Teta, Ivan Magwene, Kassy Irebe and Brian Manzi. Jean Michel Habineza and Dadi

Niwejye will accompany the group as administrators.

Davis & Elkins College students who will participate in the debate are junior Nouna Anthony of Charles

Town, W.Va.; junior Alex Gaaserud of Elkins; junior Kaia Kater-Hurst of Ontario, Canada; and senior Andrew

Carroll of Bunker Hill, W.Va.

This is the second year the Calliduz Debate Team and the Office of Academic Affairs has been able to bring

students to campus for a public debate.

“The College has been very generous in supporting this student-led initiative to deliberate on the affairs of the

day in a way that helps to clarify beliefs and value commitments for the audience, rather than making the

issues seem impossibly complex or confusing,” Saindon says.

The team and Saindon are considering plans for additional public debates. In addition, the team has entered

regional debate competitions including ones at Ocean City, Md., James Madison University and the University

of Kentucky.

“It is great to travel, and a nice reward for students’ hard work, but the debates we sponsor on our campus are

in some ways at the heart of what our organization is about,” Saindon says. “Not only can we involve a wider

variety of students who may not otherwise have time to travel, but we can also reach more students and

members of the community by making the debates public and accessible.”

Charleston, 3 hours south of Pittsburgh and 4 hours west of Washington, D.C. For more information, please

In a casual conversation, Christine Teta uses phrases like „I beg to disagree‟ or „I am in

debating is clearly one of the things she cares most about.

Teta holds a Bachelors degree in agribusiness and rural development from the Institute

The 23-year-old is a co-founder of Idebate, an organisation that empowers young people

through the art of debate to enhance their critical thinking.

So far, over 25 schools around the country have benefited from the organisation.

http://www.newtimes.co.rw/section/article/2014-09-11/180704/



In an interview with The New Times, she gives insights on being a young woman with a

social cause. Excerpts;

When was Idebate founded?

Idebate was founded in October 2012; I was still in school in my third year of university.

I participated in debates during my A-level and had undertaken training after school

that nurtured my talent. I tried working with institutions that had trained us to guide

other people but at some point I had the zeal to begin my own initiative that would pass

on these skills. I talked to different people who had the same idea but hadn‟t pursued

them yet. It was around the same time that Jean Michel Habineza (another co-founder)

had just returned from school abroad and together we formed a debate based

association.

How was a 21-year-old girl able to raise finances for a debate organisation?

The finances were mostly our own, we did it voluntarily but eventually we worked with

different institutions. We tried sourcing for funds at some point but it was somewhat

hard to convince people and corporations on the necessity to financially support such an

organisation. Some might have liked the idea but didn‟t see the necessity to fund it.

Of all social causes, don’t you think debating is somewhat strange?

Debate is who I am; it is part of my personality. I love constructive debate. It causes you

to critically think and want to make sense of why some things are the way they are. It is

through debating that you can have intellectual conversations from which you learn a

lot.

I always wanted to give back to the society; I figured this was one way to do so.

If you look at the government‟s priority for the youth currently, they are trying to raise a

well-informed population. From school or formal education, you are only going to learn

what you are taught, but through debating, you share and acquire knowledge.

You gain confidence in yourself and learn by asking „why‟. You learn the root causes of

problems in society which is something women and the youth could use.

But don’t you think that in a way you could be breeding a future generation

of rebellious women?

I do not think it is breeding rebellion or going against cultural norms, if anything it

teaches and encourages a structured way of arguing, you only argue when you have

supporting facts, it doesn‟t seek to wash away culture, if anything it strengthens it. It is

only bringing out facts and not trying to disagree with everything.

Few girls around your age have social causes that they have seen through,

by your light why the hesitance?

I would say it is because of the fear of being challenged; everyone has some good

intentions but the thought that you will be challenged scares a lot of people.

I felt the same way at some point, getting through it was because of how badly I wanted

to give back to those around me.

It is a general challenge for women. The society structure that has placed women in a

position where they have to catch up has brought about a fear to face unknown

challenges and the thought that they are not good enough.

Could it be that they lack the right people to look up to?

They have the right role models; the problem is that few look at what the role models

went through to get to where they are. That doesn‟t mean necessarily trying to replicate

life stories, it is only meant to give insights to the path that it took them to get to where

they are.

Anything in the works at the moment?

We are in the process of finalising a USA tour with the youth member of the

organisation. We are taking the initiative to show how far Rwanda has come 20 years

after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and its effects. It is dubbed “The voices from

the post Genocide generation”.

We feel that as the youth we have to share experiences from Rwanda and spread the

message of hope. It will be a chance to have the youth exposed and brand the country. It

will be a two and a half month tour where we will move around schools and universities

giving talks and debating in different initiatives.

You were juggling between school, your social life and commitments and

your social cause, how did you do that?

It is not easy but it is fulfilling, you can not only rely on school. I was afraid it would

make me inactive. The secret lies in how you arrange your programme and knowing

when to do what. We all have 24 hours a day. It is how you use them.

How do you handle the kids you work with?

You learn in the process, everyday you learn how to handle the kids… sorry students

(laughs). They would kill me if they heard me call them kids.

You have boosted girls’ self confidence through debate but has the social

cause done anything for you?

It has made me a better person. Though it has only been two years, I have learnt a lot of

stuff I never would have learnt elsewhere. I used to think I was only giving to people but

found out that I was the one receiving. If I died today, the community would remember

me for doing something for them.

Reconciliation through debate

Can civil discourse heal genocidal wounds?

The iDebate Rwanda team visited JMU on Nov. 5 to share how they are using debate as a "tool of peace" in a

country still struggling to recover from the deep and divisive wounds of genocide two decades ago. Communication

can achieve reconciliation and make an impact, the group said during an appearance sponsored by the Madison

Vision Series: Contemporary Issues in an Engaged Society.

“What do you do…when everyone within the post-genocide generation is not a perpetrator, but simply a victim—a

victim to the guilt, a victim to fear, a victim to mistrust and a victim to so many other consequences of the genocide?”

asked Christine Teta, 23, the current president of iDebate Rwanda.

The answer to that question, the team suggested, is to engage in civil discourse.

The first portion of the panel revealed harrowing stories of lives lost, families broken and extreme violence during the

Rwandan genocide, where each narrative highlighted the importance of civic discourse in Rwanda now.

Dadi Niwejye, 26, recalled seeing a corpse for the first time at just 5 years old, and remembered that hugs “always

felt like the last.” During the genocide, he was told to keep his face hidden in order to avoid drawing attention, and at

such a young age he struggled to fathom how the appearance of his face could incite such drastic and chilling

consequences. Bryan Manzi, 14, shared a narrative of a mixed Hutu-Tutsi family being torn apart, while Kassy Irebe,

14, read a woman's letter to a future child about her father being murdered during the Rwandan genocide, a loss she

attributed to something “as futile as the shape of a nose.”

The Rwandan genocide has deep ties in German and Belgian colonialism, the team explained. Social classes existed

based on the number of cows each family owned—owning 10 or more classified individuals as Tutsis, whereas

owning fewer than 10 signified Hutus. The Twa, a third class system, mostly lived in the forest.

When the Belgians arrived in Rwanda, they used a divide and conquer method. “They were fascinated with this idea

of race, so they divided them according to race,” said Jean Michel Habineza, 26, iDebate Rwanda’s international

coordinator. “If you were tall and had a slender nose, you were a Tutsi. And if you were shorter and had a broader

nose, you were a Hutu.” It was an imposed class system based on triviality, but it had enormous implications for the

Rwandese.

“Throughout history, and [using] manipulation, the colonialists supported first the Tutsis and then made the Hutus go

against them,” Habineza said.

Over the course of 100 days, one million Rwandese citizens were murdered. Ten thousand people each day for 100

days - the equivalent of three Sept. 11 attacks for 100 days, Habineza pointed out. And as this was happening, the

rest of the world did not see Rwanda as a location of strategic interest, so it turned a blind eye toward the country.

In addition to enduring the massacre, Rwandese were forced to be neighbors with those who had killed members of

their family, or who had tried to kill them as well.

Habineza asked the audience to imagine the burden that the post-genocide generation is currently filling. “The true

victims of genocide are the ones who were born after the genocide…How are those people going to live together?

[And] not only living together, but engaging one another,” he said. “In our parents’ generation, there are victims and

perpetrators. But in ours, there is no such thing. So how are we going to live together?”

Yvan Magwene, 20, advocated for the power of debate in being part of these solutions. Because silence had been

such a large part of Rwanda’s culture, the government had been able to systematically eliminate Tutsis in Rwanda at

the time. Now, Magwene said, “iDebate Rwanda has acted as a platform for the youth…to exchange ideas, to

discuss different topics and to share stories.”

Teta added, “debate is an art, but it is also a tool of peace.”

Reflecting on the various people who had saved him from being killed during the genocide, Niwejye concluded his

story by suggesting that he’d gotten lucky.

“Why is it that I was not killed like other members of my family? Why is it that today I’m able to smile [and] I’m able to

walk head straight?” Niwejye asked. “I’ll probably never know the answer. But I know God saved me for a purpose,

and I must serve that purpose…The issue is now to figure out what that purpose is.”

Begun in 2013, The Madison Vision Series: Contemporary Issues in an Engaged Society brings scholars, thinkers

and leaders of all kinds to campus for lively explorations of issues facing our contemporary society. The series is

sponsored by the JMU Office of the President and JMU Outreach and Engagement’s Madison Institutes and funded

by donors to the Madison Forever Vision Fund.

iDebate Rwanda Debaters Visit

Pepperdine on USA Tour By Amanda Salz on November 13, 2014

Over the past month the iDebate Rwanda debate team has been touring across the United States,

participating in debates and sharing their culture and insight with university students. After spending

some time on the East Coast at campuses such as Yale and James Madison University, the

Rwanda debaters are making their way to Southern California to visit Pepperdine.

The debaters will make a presentation about their organization and their culture and debate with the

Pepperdine debate team Monday at 6:30 p.m. in PLC 125. The Rwanda debaters will visit

Pepperdine from Nov. 15-18. Their U.S. Tour commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Rwandan

genocide in 1994.

http://pepperdine-graphic.com/author/amanda-salz/

The Rwanda debaters come from all over Rwanda, mostly from the capital Kigali, and have a wide

ride range of ages, the youngest being 14, according to professor and debate team coach Sarah

Stone Watt, who has been coordinating the debaters‟ visit to Pepperdine.

iDebate Rwanda is a Non-Governmental Organization committed to promoting debate in Rwanda,

according to its website, debaterwanda.org. Since its creation in 2012, the organization has aimed to

use the tool of debate to improve students‟ problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

Faculty Explore the Issue of Global Prostitution

“By taking part in debate, students become engaged learners, critical thinkers and leaders who are

effective advocates for themselves and their communities,” according to the iDebate Rwanda

website.

“Most Americans tend to think about it from the movies like Hotel Rwanda that are genocide

focused, so they‟re talking about „What is Rwanda like now?‟ and also „What role does debate have

in equipping youth to have a role in their society and to advocate for themselves?‟” Stone Watt said.

The event will feature a short film by the Rwanda debaters about Rwanda and their organization,

and a photo exhibit that Stone Watt described as, “Rwanda through their eyes.” After the

presentation, the Rwanda debaters will team up with members of the Pepperdine debate team to

hold a public debate on international aid, Stone Watt said.

Stone Watt said that her goal for the debate is for the Rwanda debaters to show the Pepperdine

debaters a new perspective on global issues.

Ronald Reagan’s Son Honors Father’s Legacy

“The level of research that we do tends to be so intense sometimes that it‟s hard to think that we‟ve

missed something, so talking to someone who comes from a totally different perspective on some of

these issues or who lives in a country that has a different history with it than we do, I hope will be

eye-opening,” Stone Watt said.

The Rwanda debaters‟ visit will not only benefit the Pepperdine debate team, but Pepperdine

students overall, according to Stone Watt.

Stone Watt said President Andrew K. Benton helped fund the iDebate Rwanda visit because he saw

an opportunity for the whole university.

Pepp Hosts Climate Change Conference

According to Stone Watt, those who benefit from the visit are students at the School of Law, which

has a global justice program that sends interns to Rwanda. Other affected students are Seaver

public relations students and students involved in The Waves Effect, which has completed the

designs and promoted the event, according to Associate Professor of Communication Denise

Ferguson, who oversees The Waves Effect.

“No matter how much we can learn about a certain topic or geographic area in the world, it‟s not the

same as having someone‟s lived experience,” Elechyan said.

She connected this with Pepperdine‟s ideals of purpose, service and leadership.

Our academic education combined with the testimonies of those from other cultures transcends our

college majors. It gives us the ability to use our skills to become purposeful leaders dedicated to

serving others.

UNT hosts debate with Rwanda By Reporter on December 2, 2014

Kaleigh Gremaud / Staff Writer

The UNT debate team and iDebate team from Rwanda discussed whether justice or forgiveness

was more important after the 1994 Rwandan genocide during a debate Tuesday.

No winner was declared in the debate. UNT debate director Brian Lain said his team argued in favor

of forgiveness.

“In today’s debate, UNT affirmed in the topic in the aftermath of genocide forgiveness is more

important than justice,” he said.

IDebate argued for justice after the Rwandan genocide, which saw between 500,000 and 1 million

people slaughtered during the last phase of a civil war that had been raging since 1990. Rwanda

established a special court to handle the trials after several hundred judges and lawyers either fled

or were killed during the genocide, leaving only 50 lawyers to prosecute 130,000 suspects, but that

court was closed under heavy criticism in 2012.

Peace studies and history freshman Abron Hester, political science senior Darrian Carroll and

political science freshman Brett Kramber represented UNT in the debate.

This was UNT’s first time hosting a debate with the iDebate team from Rwanda. iDeabate consisted

of high school graduate Yvan Magwene and two high school students from Green Hills Academy,

Kassy Irebe and Bryan Manzi.

Each debater gave a seven-minute debate to support his or her side of the argument. After the first

four debaters, Lain opened the floor to questions from the audience for 10 minutes. After the

questions, each side gave closing remarks.

Hester started off the debate by discussing how forgiveness must come before justice. Hester

stressed the act of forgiveness does not make someone forget, but allows that person to be able to

move forward.

“Forgiveness cannot be polluted, and it can only be progress,” Hester said. “Without forgiveness,

there can be no progress.”

Manzi started for the iDebate team, calling Hester’s statements about forgiveness “cute and

adorable.” He said there needs to be retribution on those who committed the genocide.

“Forgiveness doesn’t help on a national level,” Manzi said. “It helps individuals but not the

nation.”Kramber supported Hester’s view that forgiveness stops people from dwelling on the past.

He said forgiveness needs to exist for people to feel as though justice has taken place for them to go

on with their life.

“At some point in the process of justice, forgiveness is required to believe that justice has been

served,” Kramber said.

Magwene took a passionate stand for justice, explaining that justice has more value after genocide.

Magwene said justice is the way to show people that there are consequences to their actions and is

the best answer to ending violence.

“In the aftermath of genocide, you need to deal with the problem from the roots,” Magwene said.

“The only way to deal with the roots is by understanding the problem. The problem is not just going

to drop way to forgiveness or to justice. That’s not how things are done.”

Nearly 300 Attend UWG Debate vs. iDebate Rwanda

by Taylor Bryant

Nearly 300 faculty, staff, students and community members attended the public debate,

UWG Debate versus iDebate Rwanda. The event, hosted by the University of West Georgia

Honors College, was held on Thursday, October 9, 2014, in the Campus Center Ballroom.

Following the debate, the Rwandan debate team engaged in a detailed question and answer

session about Rwanda, post genocide. To view the full debate, visithttp://youtu.be/Sx5X-

“It was a fantastic evening, a unique showcase of the intellectual and rhetorical capabilities

of UWG students and the international impact of UWG Debate,” said Dr. Michael Hester,

dean of the Honors College and Transdisciplinary Programs and director of debate. “The

Rwandan national team are tremendous ambassadors for their country, exemplifying the power of debate and argumentation to transform lives and nations.”

iDebate Rwanda is a local non-governmental organization in Rwanda, working to teach

students the power of debate and free speech in a post genocide country. This year marks

the 20th anniversary of the genocide. In its remembrance, iDebate Rwanda is on a two-month long debate tour in the United States.

The visiting team included five debaters: Kassy Irebe, Ivan Magwene, Bryan Manzi, Dadi

Niwejye and Christine Teta. The students range from 14 to 26 years old. Jean Michel

Habineza, founder and international coordinator of iDebate Rwanda, accompanied the debaters.

“Our visit to UWG was a wonderful experience,” said Jean Michel. “We had the chance to

experience Southern hospitality from the UWG Honors College and a lot of love from the UWG campus. UWG has definitely set the bar for all other venues.”

The debate’s resolution was “On balance, foreign aid does more harm than good.” UWG

debaters, Monique Hyman and Osayame Gaius-Obaseki debated the affirmative against

Kassy and Ivan. Following the debate, Dr. Hester was so impressed, he offered 14-year-old Kassy a debate scholarship to UWG.

(UWG) was certainly worth it. I think that the university is a beautiful place, and I am very

thankful for Dr. Hester.”

UWG was the first stop on the tour of more than 20 U.S. colleges and universities. UWG is

the only school in Georgia and the southeast region to gain a visit from the international

team. Other tour stops include Harvard University, Wake Forest University and New York University.

“The Honors College is proud to have hosted an intercultural activity attended by more than

two hundred and fifty people,” said Dr. Hester. “Witnessing our students engage in

thoughtful conversation about politics, international affairs and how education can prevent

ethnic conflict, it is clear that events of this caliber can help UWG achieve its vision of being the best place to work, learn and succeed.”
