Our instructors have reached the highest levels of competition as coaches and as competitors. They all share a spirit of wanting to help students from around the world benefit from the activity!
We provide programs for students with any degree of experience, from those with no exposure to debate or public speaking to those preparing to win national tournaments.
The Harvard Debate Council has been offering summer workshops for over 35 years. We pride ourselves on continuing to grow based on our experience.
