We are thrilled to announce that Dreamers Academy Camp 2026 will once again call Kigali Christian School (KCS) home. This marks the second year that KCS will host Dreamers Academy, and we couldn't be more excited to return to a place that has already been part of so many life-changing experiences and unforgettable memories.

Last year, KCS provided more than just classrooms and accommodation; it became a space where students discovered new passions, built confidence in their voices, and formed friendships with peers from different schools and countries. It is where first debates were delivered, ideas were challenged, talents were uncovered, and many students left with a renewed sense of purpose. We are excited to return to an environment that supports the curiosity, collaboration, and growth that define the Dreamers Academy experience.

As KCS celebrates over 20 years of nurturing learners, we are honoured to continue this partnership and create another transformative experience for the next generation of dreamers, thinkers, and changemakers.

Here's to another year of dreaming boldly, learning deeply, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

We can't wait to welcome you to Dreamers Academy Camp 2026.

Strong debate programs are built by people who are committed to learning, improving, and sharing what they know with others.
iDebate Rwanda brought together coaches from across our network for a two-day Coaching for Coaches training led by Eduard Williams, Assistant Director of Operations and International Programs at the Harvard Debate Council and Head Coach of World Schools Debate at The Westminster Schools.

Through practical sessions, discussions, and shared experiences, participants explored new approaches to coaching, mentorship, and student development.
We are grateful to Ed Williams, the Harvard Debate Council, and The Westminster Schools for contributing their expertise and supporting the continued growth of debate education in Rwanda.

Happy Herman Niyorurema, founder of Bakame AI, shares what happens when young people are given the space to find their voice.
