Interclubs debate competition : A successful first edition of MECC
The team named "Wise" won the first edition of the interclub debate competition. They faced the "Savior" on Saturday, August 30, 2025, at Ispric, a private university in Bamako.
The event was attended by the Secretary General of Mali English Clubs council of Mali (MECC), Drissa Camara. Many prominent figures in the English language learning movement participated in the finals.
Organized by the MECC, this final had the topic: "The pen is mightier than the sword." Eight teams from different English clubs participated in this month-long debate competition.
"Wise" defended the idea that the pen is mightier than the sword. Their opponent, "Savior," did the opposite. At the end of the debate, the jury members declared the "Wise" team the winner.
The best debater of the competition was Ramata Gologo, from the "Savior" team. The objective of this MECC initiative was to help young people gain a certain ease and self-confidence.
The presentation of certificates and gifts to the finalists made the meeting more interesting.
