Never should debates be deemed abstruse and bewildering, it is rather a skill emanated from communication and its impact is ubiquitous. This debate showcase hopes to connect debaters, local and international alike, and to bring home to students the power of debates. By listening to impassioned speeches live, either online or offline, the audience will see how the floor is open to all and ideas come to life through dialogues. Conversations and connections spark the best ideas. 

The motion of the debate is “This house believes that digital technology has done more to disconnect us than to connect us”.
