The Netherlands Debate Institute
The Netherlands Debate Institute aspires to contribute to the development of an ingrained debate culture in The Netherlands, led by the conviction that debating substantially contributes to the personal development of individuals, as well as the development of organizations and society as a whole.
Debate has the capacity to develop all aspects of persuasive oral communication, such as presentation, argumentation, and critical listening skills. Furthermore, debate stimulates a critical thinking stance, and is conducive to the widening of one's frame of reference.
In addition, debate makes a crucial contribution to accurate and truthful opinion-shaping and decision-making, or as we prefer to put it: the truth arises from differences of opinion. Every point of view deserves to be heard with interest and respect, as well as being regarded in the most critical of lights.
On a daily basis we organize and run workshops for professionals. We organize and lead debates and discussions, and introduce debating as an educational method into all layers of the Dutch school system.
