Students from Shamsiye Boys High School greatly benefited from participating in the Harvard Debate Council International Workshop 2026, where they received specialized training in debate, public speaking, critical thinking, and leadership. Through interactive sessions and practical activities, they learned how to construct persuasive arguments, communicate ideas confidently, analyze issues from different perspectives, conduct effective research, and engage respectfully in intellectual discussions. The workshop also strengthened their teamwork, problem-solving, and decision-making skills while exposing them to international debate standards and global perspectives. Overall, the experience empowered the students to become more confident communicators, independent thinkers, and future leaders capable of making meaningful contributions in their academic and professional journeys.
