To celebrate the mental health awareness month two students of Creative Academy, showed their talents in a debate competition organized by iHub Kathmandu on May 31st.

The debate motion “Is working/studying from home good/bad” was based solely upon mental health. Participants had to prepare affirmative as well as negative arguments.

After a lucky draw the speaker's sides were decided.There were two rounds of the debate and five students were selected for the second round.

Debate was organized in a collaboration with five schools: Viswa Niketan Secondary School, Janajyoti English School, Creative Academy, Annapurna Secondary School, and Saraswati Niketan Secondary School.

Prasanna Baskota and Jessica Shrestha were the participants of the debate. "The debate was really engaging as well as challenging,it was a great networking session too" said Baskota.

“Debate was very good and it taught students confidence skills and the way that they should lead the mass,no doubt it has taught to build their mass confidence or to reduce mass phobia”, said Parshuram Khanal who supported students in this debate.

“We are immensely proud of the enthusiasm and brilliance showcased by all the participating schools”, said the organizers, “together we made a positive impact in promoting mental well-being and fostering a supportive community.”
