About Us​
Debate Mate is a global social business that teaches crucial human skills from the classroom to the boardroom.
We empower professionals from all backgrounds with the skills to succeed in the workplace of today and tomorrow.
We power social change by engaging thousands of students and people from under-represented communities across the world through a series of educational programmes.
Social purpose and impact are in our DNA. We began life as an educational non-profit, delivering after-school debating clubs in schools in areas of high child poverty.
