IDEA is a membership organisation. We are here to support local and national debate organisations in delivering high-quality debate programmes, expanding their reach, and cooperating internationally.
Everyone involved in debating in any capacity fully understands how deeply transformative it can be for young people, and just how positive of an impact it has on them personally and professionally. However, maintaining accessible debate programmes is too often an uphill battle.
In addition to training for staff, debate coaches, debaters, judges and teachers, we run the IDEA Youth Forum, the largest annual gathering for experts who work in debate education, and we build online debate learning environments with courses for debaters, coaches, trainers, and teachers.
