Champions of International Competition for Young Debaters 2022

The International Competition for Young Debaters (ICYD) 2022 was won by Team India, which was represented by Hitishaa Goyal and Rasmika Rangarajan from the Indian Schools Debating Society (ISDS). ISDS, a non-profit organisation based in Chennai that develops young Indian debaters and sends them to the most prominent international debating events, trained all three of India’s teams.

On April 23, Oxford University hosted the largest international debating tournament for debaters aged 15 and younger, which was held in a hybrid mode (a combination of remote and in-person arguing).

“We had our fingers crossed throughout the closing ceremony, and when they finally announced our names as champions, I was on cloud nine,” recalled Rasmika, who admitted that debating from the comfort of their homes was an advantage, even though it meant missing out on meeting other debaters face to face.
