The club aims to improve member’s public speaking skills as well as their debating abilities. Debates are held according to JCI’s debating guidelines, which can be downloaded from this page. During each meeting, which is held once a month members are divided into groups and can debate for and against any motion they choose.


Heated debates have been known to occur. Training courses by JCI trainers were delivered twice for the year 2009. JCI Aleppo is also planning for debating competition with other local JCI chapters in Syria, and possibly working towards participating in the JCI world debating competition which will be held during the JCI world congress in Tunisia.
