Debate 101: Class 004 Kicks Off with Surigao’s Bright Young Minds Ready to Speak Up and Lead!

The Batang Surigaonon Youthniversity, in partnership with JCI Surigao North, successfully kicked off the Debate 101: Class 004 with a bang last November 20, 2024. The first day of this intensive two-day program at the Livelihood Training and Productivity Center (LTPC), saw enthusiastic participation from senior high school, junior high school, and college students. The initiative, spearheaded by 2025 LO President Atty. Krystel Grace C. Buniel, aimed to cultivate critical thinking, effective communication, and leadership qualities among Surigao’s youth. Guest Speaker, 2025 Local Skills Development Director Raxiey Adolfo, shared his expertise, guiding participants through interactive sessions focused on the British Parliamentary debate format.
This initial day served as a strong foundation for the upcoming debate challenges planned for Day 2. Expert speakers shared their knowledge and experience, guiding students through interactive exercises and practical applications. The future looks bright for these young debaters, poised to make their voices heard and contribute meaningfully to their community.
