In 2011, history was made with the inaugural International Universities Debating Championship (IUDC) – the first-ever global debating platform exclusively in Arabic! Hosted by QatarDebate, this groundbreaking event saw universities from across the world come together to engage in thought-provoking discussions and celebrate the power of the Arabic language. The 1st IUDC paved the way for a new era of intellectual exchange and Arabic debate on a global stage.
