April marks the next phase of a new and exiciting program at The Interfaith Center of New York called “Debate in the Neighborhood.” A collaboration of ICNY and the International Debate Education Association (IDEA), and funded by Open Society Youth Initiative, Debate in the Neighborhood aims to engage immigrant and first-generation students in the enriching educational tradition of debate, and to foster understanding, cooperation, and a free and lively exchange of ideas among young New Yorkers from diverse cultures, ethnicities and religious traditions. The program began in March in Queens, and continues through the spring school semester, culminating with a tournament in May.
On April 9 and 10, students from all three organizations will assemble together for the first time, to be assigned into 3-member teams and begin training for the final tournament.
Participating Organizations:
Hindu Temple Society of North America
