Kose-dhunga will introduce the participants to basic parliamentary debating, public speaking and leadership skills using many fun methods. There will also be recreational activities such as hiking. Several renowned guest speakers from various walks of life will also be there to provide their valuable insights."Our youth have a lot of potential within them and many often do not realize it. We felt that they need right guidance—somebody to make them realize that there is a leader within them. And that's how this idea came about," said Pradeep Ghimire, Chair of DNN.
DNN is a social enterprise working to promote the debating culture in Nepal since 2013. The motto of the enterprise is to unite debaters so as to run the debating programs within the country in an organized manner and also officially represent Nepal in the international arena.
"Nepal lags far behind in debating. We still follow the conventional style. DNN is working to promote the modern style of debating in order to take Nepali debaters to a greater height," Ghimire explained.
Debaters from DNN will soon be representing Nepal in World School Debating Championship to be held in Singapore in August this year, and World University Debating Championship to be held in Greece in January 2016.
Participants can apply for the program by filling up an online form through the DNN's Facebook page. They will be required to pay a fee of Rs 6,000.
