Public Speaking & Debate Achievement
11.08.2025
First-Ever Public Speaking & Debate Summer School in Armenia — Successfully Completed!
From July 14 to August 8, Armenia hosted a unique and groundbreaking educational program — the Public Speaking & Debating Summer School, organized by Koreez Educational and Integrated Solutions and Development.
Led by Mr. Edward, a Harvard-trained public speaking expert with over a decade of international experience, this 4-week program introduced world-class debate and communication methods to Armenian youth for the very first time.
With only 9 carefully selected participants, including 4 scholarship recipients sponsored by Integrated Solutions and Development, the program ensured an intensive and highly personalized experience.
Over the course of four transformational weeks:
– Students learned to build structured arguments and speak persuasively in English
– They explored global and social topics through debate formats, rhetorical workshops, and games
– They practiced respectful disagreement, teamwork, and critical thinking
– And they received tailored feedback to develop not only their skills, but also their confidence
The program culminated in a Live Public Debate Showcase, where participants impressed both peers and parents with their progress and performance — delivering powerful speeches in English on complex topics with clarity and courage.
The response?
Students and families alike are asking:
“When will the next program take place?”
The answer: More projects are already on the way.
We are proud to see the growing demand for international-standard educational programs in Armenia, and we are committed to answering that need.
Stay tuned — this is only the beginning.
