ISA Debate Society (ISA-DS) started around 2017-2018 with just four members and an adviser. The club has thrived since then on and won various debate competitions. The club focuses on enhancing the debating skills of the members while enjoying the process. The club undergoes continuous changes and progress to cater to the growing needs of the members. It is a club that is fun, exciting, and thriving.
To create a safe place to express candid opinions and thoughts. We believe that debating is for everyone. We believe that learners fear debate and we want to dispel this fear and illusion. Debating does not have to be a structured and fixed activity. It should have many outlets, competition is certainly one, but other forms of outlets, especially more relaxed and recreational ones, should be explored to defuse the usual tension that comes with only competitive debating.
