会長挨拶

Is it good to raise people's living costs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as a measure against global warming? Does distributing money to those who suffer from poverty and rising prices save people's lives? As values continue to diversify around the world, it is essential to have knowledge and ideas about the issues facing Japan and the world.

Do you actually have opportunities to obtain such knowledge and ideas? Do you have opportunities to discuss such issues with others and deepen your knowledge and ideas?

Academic Debate is a community that provides such opportunities. It is a competition in which students think logically from multiple perspectives, raise issues, propose solutions, and persuade others in a limited amount of time. By participating in such competitions during their short university life, students will gain knowledge and English language skills that they can only acquire here and become active members of society.

As one of the largest debating organizations in Japan, NAFA supports all those involved in academic debate. Whether you are a member or not, please contact us. We also welcome those who want to start their own club, watch a tournament, participate in a tournament, or start from scratch.

We would be happy to help color your university life. We look forward to working with you.
