Debating has a long established history within higher education institutions all over the world – particularly in South Africa, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. The IE student debating club meets for regular debates on campus on a wide variety of topics and compete against another institutions in national and international debates. The intent is to improve and refine debating and argumentation techniques while having a good time.
