About Us
The Malaysian World Schools Debate Education Society (MWSDES) also known as WSDC Team Malaysia is a non-profit organization established to manage, fund, train, and sustainably develop the national debate team that represents Malaysia at the annual World Schools Debating Championship (WSDC). Our organization’s patron is the Ministry of Education of Malaysia. We work collaboratively with them to design programs and content for students and teachers across Malaysia.
​
As an affiliate of the World Schools Debating Championships, we aim to develop critical thinking, public speaking, and argumentation skills in young Malaysians through competitive debate tournaments and training workshops. Our mission is to create a community of confident and competent debaters who can engage in reasoned and respectful discourse on a variety of topics.
Our Why
We believe that debating is not only a sport but also an essential tool for building confidence, promoting leadership, and fostering an appreciation for diverse perspectives. Join us and become part of a dynamic and passionate community of debaters who are shaping the future of discourse in Malaysia.
What We Do
We organize various events and training programs to help young debaters hone their critical thinking, public speaking, and argumentation skills. Our flagship program is the World Schools Debating Championships, where teams from around the world compete against each other in a series of debates on complex and timely issues. Additionally, we conduct workshops, seminars, and camps for debaters of all ages and levels of experience.
