At DSDC, I developed my public speaking and argumentation in an international, intellectual, and diverse environment. Right from the first session, experienced coaches helped me master the art of competitive debate. Mentors guided me every step of the way. At international tournaments, I met people from all around the world. Looking back, I can barely compute how much debate has done for me. In nearly four years, I became a better student, a better citizen, and, above all, a better person.

My daughter has attended DSDC for a few years. She really learned a lot. Not just knowledge and techniques of debating. She also grew as a person. She became stronger in talking in public, learned how to cooperate in a team,  expanded her English and got to know herself more. At DSDC coaches guide you and try to help you forward so you will actually learn: not just in debating but also challenges such as planning. The trips abroad for competitions are well organized and the icing on the cake. At DSDC they are very professional and well equipped to get you to a higher level!

Coaching at DSDC was an unparalleled experience. I got to work with some of the world’s best, most dedicated and professional coaches teaching the Netherland’s brightest debaters. Every session is run with excellence in mind, and it’s no surprise that the Netherlands regularly tops the tables of international debate tournaments
