About this opportunity
The ISDS Masterclass Series is a set of expert-led sessions designed to deepen students' understanding of critical global affairs topics while developing their debating and analytical skills. Each session is conducted online via Zoom by experienced ISDS trainers and internationally recognised debate coaches who bring world-class instruction directly to students across India.
Each masterclass focuses on a distinct global topic such as sovereign debt and developing economies, resource politics, modern warfare, and international governance. Students engage with these subjects through lecture-style instruction paired with structured discussions and debate exercises, building both subject-matter knowledge and critical reasoning skills needed in competitive debate.
The series is open to school students in Grades 8 to 12. Sessions can be attended individually or as a complete set at a discounted rate, allowing flexibility depending on a student's areas of interest. The programme is delivered with small class sizes to ensure quality engagement and personalised attention.
ISDS is India's premier competitive debating organisation, having guided Team India to win the World Schools Debating Championship. The Masterclass Series draws on this depth of expertise, giving students access to the same quality of training that shapes India's top competitive debaters.
