Students from various regions in Peru are engaging in competitive debate tournaments focused on social and economic issues. In the Ica region, students from the Alexander Von Humboldt educational institution in Pisco, including Camila Conislla Suárez, Laura Tornero Flores, and Jenifer Córdova Dueñas, are set to represent their province in the XII School Debate Contest organized by Shougang Hierro Perú.
