The art of debate is quite often more than what it appears to be. Debating is more than learning how to win an argument. Debates have become more relevant in today’s time as never before. There was a time that discussions used to happen not to blame but to inspire. Inspire. That is the idea that sets the foundation of this society. Somewhere along rushing through this world, we have stopped listening to one another and have made winning the sole purpose of a discussion which is unjust to the historical tradition of debates and something that direly needs a revision.
Henceforth, Global Governance Debating Society intends to contribute to the long tradition of debates and in the process strives to influence its pupils to critically analyze the issues of today and acquire the necessary tools to express their opinions with courage and eloquence.
This debating society is a gathering place, where students have the opportunity to speak and listen, to question, and seek the answers for themselves.§
