Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

The Belize Coalition to Save our Natural Heritage is having debates on oil all around Belize over the next 4 months.  They'll be in Cayo on November 27th, when Belmopan Comprehensive debates Mopan Tech.  They are currently looking for volunteers to help with this and other projects.

In related news, they have released an ad for their upcoming TV show, 'Our Community, Our Oil, Our Shared Future!' 

"The Belize Coalition to Save our Natural Heritage will be hosting its 1st National Secondary School Debate on OIL IN BELIZE!  Come out and show your support as ten schools from across the country battle it out to be the first winners of what will soon be the best debate of the year!  Join the Coalition and students in addressing the subject of Oil in Belize as we start our journey toward a National Discussion on Oil that has never taken place!  (See flyer for schedule dates and details)"

The University of Belize hosted Sacred Heart Junior College for their debate.  UB won.  Congratulations to UB, and to all the debate participants.

"Congratulations to the students of the UB Debate Club in winning the first Inter-mural Debate Competition, hosted by the University on November 21, in Belmopan. Our worthy opponents were Sacred Heart College, who have committed to coming alongside us in this collaborative effort to create avenues for our students to engage in academic exercises which will simultaneously address issues that deeply affect them. These students are a significant demographic of our society, whose voices need to be heard in a healthy, safe environment. The wider UB community is encouraged to continue to support the hosting of these student forums. The Debate Club of the University, under the leadership of Lecturer Tracey Sangster, envisions that the event will be held at the national level with the engagement of other schools throughout the academic year. Members of the winning team were Courtney Weatherburne, Alaysha Gilharry, Esther Gillman, Ashanti Garcia, Elizabeth Andrus-Reimer, and Kadijah Marin."
