The Championship serves as a forum to raise awareness on designated topics in addition to creating a platform for students to express their opinions. Furthermore, via training workshops delivered by domestic and foreign experts, they will be given a chance to hone their skills while interacting with peers around the globe; thus, fully enhancing their international experience.

For season 3, the International Education Institute will jointly organize IDEBATE with The University of Newcastle (Australia), Edge Hill University (UK), Universiti Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), and Université Paris-est Créteil Val de Marne (France) to bring this fantastic event to students from different parts of the world.
