IDAS 2003 & IDAS 2004 & IDAS 2005
We are organizing International Debate Academy Slovenia for the 4th time. The first one, IDAS 2003, was a modest start with 40 participants from Germany, Slovakia the USA and Slovenia. The IDAS 2004 was a huge success – over 60 participants from 13 countries from all over Europe and America (Bulgaria, Croatia, England, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Romania, Russia, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovakia, Sweden, the USA, and Slovenia). We had trainers from the USA, England, Serbia and Slovenia. The ambassadors of the USA and EU, who joined the discussions on the transatlantic relations, also visited us. Not many events do have such high-ranking guests. IDAS 2005 was a further step towards international success – about 60 participants form 19 countries and excellent debate trainers form Asia, Europe, and America.
