Impressive Debut at the NESDA Tournament

Impressive Debut at the NESDA Tournament

Last weekend 12 of our high school students traveled to Vienna to compete in the NESDA (New European Speech and Debate Association) Tournament with 8 other international schools.

The image shows three individuals, two women and one man, sitting at a table and engaged in discussion. The background features a colorful landscape painting on the wall behind them.

The event was held at the American International School of Vienna (AISV) and our students competed in all 6 events: Original Oratory, Duet Acting, Debate, Impromptu Speaking, Impromptu Duet Acting, and Oral Interpretation. 

With over 100 students competing, we were so impressed with 6 of our students making it to semi-finals and 5 moving on to finals! This was a complete rookie team who has never participated in a NESDA tournament, so we are incredibly proud of their effort and we are so inspired to keep working hard to improve!
