This year our debating society was represented at Worlds University Debating Championship (WUDC) for the fourth time. We sent one team (Julia Toivanen and Anna Bessonova) and one judge (Ami Ganguli) from our institution. The winners in three different categories are:

MGIMO A (Russia) in EFL (English as a foreign language) Category

Tel Aviv A (Israel) in ESL (English as a second language) Category

Sydney A (Australia) in EPL (English as a Proficient language) Category

The competition this year was hosted in Antalya, Turkey by Koç University. It was an amazingly well-run tournament in all possible ways! There were almost no delays in the schedule, the organizers worked really hard on ensuring everyone’s wishes were met and all their promises were fulfilled. We enjoyed exceptionally high-quality debates and fabulous socials. It was a truly fantastic 10-day experience in sunny Antalya in a company of great people.

Thank you Koç and we hope that our society will continue sending teams to future Worlds!
