Debate to Educate

Our Mission 

Debate to Educate is a 501c3e non profit organization whose mission is to make debate virtually accessible and empowering on a world-wide scale. By creating a global community united in the spirit of competition and exploration, we aim to build a more empathetic and knowledgeable generation of learners and leaders everywhere.

Our Focus

Debate to Educate is offering Debate workshops for students ages 10-15. Our workshops are designed to equip students with the essential skills of public speaking, World School Styles debate and Public Forum. Additionally, our workshops also include an introductory unit to Model UN! This engaging program will enhance students’ research techniques, persuasive advocacy abilities, and understanding of both local and global issues, fostering informed and confident communicators.

Our curriculum emphasizes experiential learning, culminating in a hybrid or online international tournament hosted by Debate to Educate. This capstone experience will not only showcase the students’ growth but also connect them with peers worldwide, promoting cultural exchange and a broader perspective.

Our Tournaments

Debate to Educate utilizes a unique schedule that allows students from every country to compete together! Our tournaments are offered to both middle school and high school students. Unlike most tournaments, our time limits are flexible in order to increase accessibility. We also allow debaters to pause at any time to request for English translations or rephrasing. Our judges come from a variety of nations, challenging our debaters to tailor their arguments to an international audience.
