In a great final round of debate with the motion: ”Brexit is the way to go”, eventually the adjudicators decided to give the winning to SADHAR A and SADHAR B as the runner up. ”We are veryhappy and proud to have won the title of champion in the SEA UMY 2016.”, stated one of Sanata Dharma’s debaters. Furthermore, Anoxia Festy, has been awarded as the best speaker for the whole competition of SEA UMY 2016. The achievements made by SADHAR A and SADHAR B were the results of hard practices that they had for almost two weeks. The two teams hoped that from these regional achievements would lead and motivate EDS SADHAR to be ready in national and international level.
“Gratefully, all our hard work paid off,”said Belandina Moore on Tuesday (16/5) at the Faculty of Letters USD. “Hopefully, from these achievements and competition we could exercise our critical thinking, public speaking skill and be more aware of social issues.
