We are a student-founded not-for-profit organisation (a company limited by guarantee, registered with Companies House) building confident young speakers through debate. Free online workshops and weekly in-person sessions in Oxford for students.
Don’t let anyone convince you that your voice is lost in the crowd. Debate sharpens your critical thinking, deepens your analysis, and grows the unshakeable confidence you need to shape the world around you.
LEARN ABOUT POI'S MISSION →Debate isn’t just about winning arguments. It’s about learning to listen, articulate complex ideas with empathy, and discovering the power of your own voice.
Master the world’s leading university debate format. Learn rapid point-of-information strategy, 15-minute prep techniques, and structured proposition-opposition argumentation.
Zero barriers to entry. All our workshops, coaching sessions, and competition prep are 100% free for students across the UK — no prior experience required.
Connect with fellow students through interactive weekly live debate chambers hosted in Oxford or jump into our accessible nationwide online cohorts.
We’ve only just begun, and we want our journey to be shared with as many people as possible. Find where you fit in our growing community.
Whether you are completely new to public speaking or looking to sharpen advanced debate skills, our workshops are designed for you.
Help empower the next generation. Join us as a debate judge, workshop mentor, guest speaker, or community coordinator.
