Celebrating 25 Years of IDEA with Our Alumni
As IDEA celebrates 25 years, we remember the shared journey with our alumni. Your contributions have shaped who we are today, and we’d love to reconnect and hear how debate has impacted your life. Whether you're still coaching, using your debate skills in new ways, or simply cherishing past memories, your story matters to us.
Marking 25 years of IDEA, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared with thousands of debaters, coaches, and volunteers from around the world. Over the past quarter-century, IDEA has empowered young people to become critical thinkers and active citizens through the power of debate.
Whether you participated in the IDEA Youth Forum, engaged in our various projects, or took part in one of our many training and exchange programs, your involvement with IDEA has been instrumental in shaping who we are today. We hope your time with us left a lasting impact on you, just as your contributions have left a lasting impact on our community.
This is why we invite you to reconnect with us by filling out this form, and share the impact debate programs have had on your lives.
We’re always excited to hear about where life has taken you and how your debate experiences have influenced your path.
We want to hear from you no matter is you still coaching, applying your skills in a different field, or your debate journey ended 20 years ago. Alumni have played a pivotal role in IDEA’s growth, contributing their expertise, sharing valuable experiences, and best practices. Many have served on our board, supported us, and worked directly with young debaters at our events. Your insights and experience are key to guiding and inspiring the next generation of debaters.
Who knows—maybe there are new ways we can collaborate, or perhaps you'd like to mentor the next group of young debaters.
We’d love to explore those opportunities with you.
So, once again, reach out to us by filling out this form and let’s catch up!
Thank you!
