<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">IOSDC will be held in accordance to the Oxford-Style debating guidelines. Oxford-Style debate is a formalised structure of academic discourse in which two sides discuss a thesis, usually on a socio-political topic. The thesis, also called ‘a motion’, is presented in the form of an affirmative statement, which gives both sides – the proponents and the opponents of the thesis – equal chances to make their case. IOSDC’s mission is to teach the students how to express their opinions in a coherent and comprehensible way. Oxford-Style debating fosters patience and self-confidence and it also cultivates the art of listening to one another and refuting the claims of the opponents in a logical and respectful manner. Through debating, students practice public speaking, supporting their opinions with convincing arguments and persuading others to what they believe is true. Also, and most importantly, it is an entertaining form of intellectual development for the young minds. </span><br />
