The purpose of UTCDC is to provide students with a platform to express different opinions on primary
issues in the world. We aim to raise students’ consciousness and generate critical thinking through
participating in debates and developing students’ communication and presentation skills.
UTCDC will provide regular workshops, training, and competitions to students throughout the school
year. Students can understand various forms of arguments and learn how to support a stance in a debate
by using multiple resources. By actively participating in our activities and competitions, students will also
have great opportunities to improve their public speaking skills. In the previous year, we have been
collaborating with HKETO, Canadian Hong Kong Alliance (Toronto), UTHKPASS, and UTSC TSCPA on
several debate competitions, allowing students to share their views and make connections with the
judges and professionals.
