The curtains came down yesterday on a three-month journey of fierce and competitive debating with a group of influencers emerging as winners in the 2023 National Debating Competition finals.

The debate which was held at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre saw the Young Influencers Programme Youth Group (YIPYG)  of the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security proposing the moot: CARICOM’S biggest achievements are exemptions and excuses, while the Golden OM Dharmic Youth Group (GOMYG) opposed the moot.

The competition, hosted by Parliament, is aimed at nurturing young debaters and grooming their public speaking abilities, and saw 16 youth organisations from across the country taking part.
