Vietnam Public Forum Academy

Vietnam Public Forum Academy is Vietnam’s first and only social organization dedicated to expanding free Public Forum debate initiatives for young people in Vietnam, and consequently has expanded abroad to countries including Afghanistan, Ghana, etc. Through this initiative, we aim to cultivate critical thinking, research skills, and awareness of global issues.

Established in December 2023 (evolved from its predecessor, Inspire Youth Debate, founded in June 2023), the Vietnam Public Forum Academy is proud to be recognized by ISDI, a joint effort of the Harvard Debate Council (HDC) and the University of Kentucky Tournament of Champions (TOC). The Academy has also been invited to speak at the ASEAN Youth Volunteer Forum 2025.
