DOMLEC made their stamp as the headline sponsor for the fourth annual Windward Islands Debating Competition (WIDC), with an investment of thirty thousand dollars ($30 000). The cheque was presented to the Dominica State College at a ceremony held at the institution today, February 11, 2020.
Mr. Cecil Joseph, Director of DOMLEC expressed DOMLEC’S commitment to the development of young people in Dominica. He further stated that he will petition the other directors on the board to reward each student with five hundred dollars ($500) if they win the debate. This is truly a show of gratitude for their hard work and motivation to triumph.
Dominica State College will be representing Dominica at the competition from March 5-6, 2020 in Dominica. This is the first year that Dominica is hosting the competition. The competition aims to reinforce the multidisciplinary approach, which is needed to assess the needs of Caribbean societies and nurture critical thinkers who will help shape the democratic societies of the Caribbean region. It will also serve to promote regional integration, collegial information sharing, and cultural exchanges.
This year Khahill Richards, Sky George, Elleen Commodore, and Zorah- Marie Xavier will be representing Dominica. They are coached by Ms. Trudy Christian, Director of Student Activities.
Dominica State College won two of the three competitions, 2017 and 2018. Grenada won in 2019. We are expecting to regain our title.
