How to Become a Debater

If you want to talk the talk, you first got to walk the walk.

If you’re a student between 12 to 22, all you have to do to become a debater is:

1. Find out which of your teachers is the school’s debate coordinator. If one of your teachers is already running a debate club in school, join the club. Practice debating with your teammates and stay connected to QatarDebate activities through your teacher.
2. If your school does not have a debate club or coordinator, contact us at qatardebate@qf.org.qa. We can include you in our mailing list and you will receive our regular newsletters dedicated to keeping you up-to-date about our events.
3. If we see you are interested, we will definitely make arrangements to visit your school and share the virtues of debate with your teachers. Plus, we will help set up a debate club through trainings and workshops.

If you’re an adult keen on debate, simply:

Email us at qatardebate@qf.org.qa. As long as you can dedicate time, effort and knowledge to QatarDebate community, we will register your name in our database as a potential judge. 

We will also provide training and hands-on experience through workshops and tournaments. After we've certified you as Judge, you will be invited to judge tournaments to build your experience. Since no debate can take place without a judge, your contributions will shape both yourself and the debate community significantly.
