Why Debate?

Debate is not the art of disagreeing but the art of decision making. We live our lives making a series of choices everyday. Debate training sparks intrinsic motivation to pursue the best decisions possible in all situations. 

Our IDEA Interchanges epitomize this as students throughout Metro-Vancouver can sign up for experiences that help develop them as speakers, thought leaders and professionals.
