April 14, 2023 (newsweek.com) – Newsweek is kicking off a partnership with the National Association for Urban Debate Leagues (NAUDL) by inviting several of the organization’s most promising young students to discuss critical issues facing our country today.
On Friday, April 14, Newsweek will host a collection of high school debaters from Washington, D.C., Denver and Silicon Valley for a live debate at the company’s global headquarters at One World Trade Center in New York City. In tandem with the event, those same eight NAUDL students will also appear on upcoming episodes of Newsweek’s The Debate podcast.
Rhonda Haynes, the executive director of NAUDL, said this ongoing collaboration will showcase young debaters and hopefully help grow the competition in schools across the country, which aligns with NAUDL’s purpose.
