To teach IAPM students to debate, to deepen their knowledge in the political and social spheres, to improve their public speaking skills, to acquire critical thinking and analysis skills.

Involve politicians, public figures, civil society activists, students, etc. in the club's work.

To change Ukrainian society by creating a positive image of a debater as a socially active citizen who is aware of the political situation in his/her country and who is not afraid to express his/her opinions publicly and who adheres to the principles of pluralism and tolerance.

Philosophy of the Academic Club:
We sincerely believe that democratic transformation in Ukraine is impossible without involving the general public, especially young people, in the discussion of political processes.

We believe that debate is the best way to develop the skills that Ukraine's leaders should have. It allows them to look at any situation from different angles and understand the positive and negative consequences of decision-making.

We want debaters to become leaders in their communities and to develop these communities intellectually in order to implement democratic values in Ukrainian society.

IAPM expands cooperation with foreign diplomatic institutions
