WE ARE
THE TEEN DEBATER
The Teen Debater is a non-profit organisation community dedicated to revolutionising debate education, access, and activities for school students across India. At the heart of our mission is the belief that debate is not just an academic exercise but a vital life skill that fosters analytical thinking, effective communication, and a deeper understanding of the world's complexities. Our community is founded on the principle of inclusivity, ensuring that students from all backgrounds, especially those from vulnerable communities or government schools where debate education is scarce, can engage in meaningful discourse. We are committed to democratising debate education, making it as fundamental and accessible as coding or other essential skills for the 21st century.
