Welcome to the African Debate Academy! When I started this journey, I envisioned a place where young minds could learn to think critically, express themselves confidently, and connect meaningfully with others. Debate is more than just an activity—it’s a transformative tool that equips individuals with the skills to question, reason, and lead.
At ADA, we believe every student has a unique voice worth hearing. Our programs are designed to nurture this voice, helping each participant build confidence, develop empathy, and gain a deeper understanding of the world around them. We are proud to have created a community where students not only learn the art of debate but also grow as individuals, embracing values like integrity, collaboration, and excellence.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, let’s empower the next generation to make a positive difference, one argument at a time."

The African Debate Academy transformed my confidence! I went from being too shy to speak up in class to winning a debate competition. The instructors were so supportive and pushed me to excel. I feel ready for anything!
Learning at ADA was a game-changer. I developed not only my debate skills but also my critical thinking. I can’t thank my coaches enough for creating such a fun and inspiring environment.
The Holiday Debate Camp was amazing! I loved the mix of debate practice and outdoor activities. I met so many friends and learned so much—I can’t wait to come back next year.
We are a leading institution dedicated to promoting debate and public speaking skills among students across the continent.
