The DIUDC National Debate Festival 2016, patronised by Daffodil International University (DIU) and organised by Daffodil International University Debating Club (DIUDC), will be inaugurated on January 21 at 3:00pm at the DIU auditorium in Sobhanbag, Dhanmondi. The competition will end with a gala cultural programme and prize giving ceremony.
It will be the fourth national debate festival organised by DIUDC. And this time DIUDC will appear with the pure flavour of ancient Bangla with the slogan “Cokhe nilakash, buke biswas paye urbor poli.” The competition is divided into four segments which are titled as the four glorious era of Bangla.
The Inter-Club English debate is titled “Dhrupodi Era,” which will commence from January 21-23. The Inter-School Bangla debate is called “Pal Era,” which will commence January 28-29, the Inter-University Bangla debate is titled “Boidik Era,” which is scheduled to take place from February 4 to 6 and the Inter-College Bangla debate is named “Mourjo Era,” which will start on February 11 and end on February 12.
All the finales of the four glorious eras are scheduled to take place at the permanent campus of DIU at Asulia in Savar.
The champions and runner-ups of each segment will be awarded with trophies and certificates. The best debaters of each finale and debaters of the tournament in each segment will be also awarded with crests and certificates.
About a hundred and thirty school, college and university teams will take part in the festival. The debates will be held on the following issues: Good governess, cultural exchange, women empowerment, human trafficking, human rights, climate change, food security, philosophy, national and world politics, eliminating child abuse and right to information.
