English Debating Club (EDC) participated in this debate competition by submitting 2 delegates, they are Susianti & Ghaniyyah Nauli. What preparations and strategies do they use to face this most prestigious debate competition?
"Preparations and strategies that we do include sharing reading topics that might arise. Then doing exercises both with couches and independently. The technical trail that we will use e.g. case building using Google document because we are in 2 different places. And of course we build good communication and boarding so that there are no disputes before or during the competition. Then the strategy we did was when we were in Team Opening then I would be PM/LO and Ghani as DPM/DLO. However, when we were in the closing team Ghani will be the MG/MO and I will be the GW/OW." said Susianti.
The preliminary round NOVED will be held on 7-8th and 14-15th of August 2021, a selection session will be held again to compete for the top 12 for novices. the implementation of NOVED 2021 is carried out virtually through the Zoom meeting platform, Discord, Herokuapp, Tabby cat and Whatsapp group for coordination.
