Get ready for an exhilarating adventure! ANS 4th and 5th graders have the unique opportunity to participate in the inaugural Rising DALE, a parliamentary debate congress organized by the Academic Debates of Student Leaders (DALE). This event will mimic the workings of the Organization of American States (OEA), giving students the opportunity to step into roles like Ambassadors or Presidents. They'll represent different countries and engage in debates conducted in English and Spanish. Students from various schools in Managua, including ANS, will join together in this initiative designed to develop responsible leaders who tackle regional issues through simulated sessions.

The experience is expertly coordinated by Prof. Sonia Dávila and Prof. Luis Castellón, with support from the ANS administration, primary school teachers, and the DALE Nicaragua student committee leaders. Its aim is to cultivate debate as a dynamic educational tool, enhancing skills like research, reading, writing, listening, and speaking. More than just an academic exercise, this event is about nurturing critical thinking, respect, tolerance, and constructive dialogue, empowering students to address and solve complex issues in a setting beyond the traditional classroom.
