About the Academy

Established in December 2023 (evolved from its predecessor, Inspire Youth Debate, founded in June 2023), Vietnam Public Forum Academy is proud to be recognized by Harvard Debate Council and the University of Kentucky’s Tournament of Champions.

The Academy has also been invited by the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Malaysia to participate as a guest speaker and was among the topics discussed at the ASEAN Youth Volunteer Forum 2025 in Kuala Lumpur. The Forum was attended by the Minister of Youth and Sports of Malaysia, Malaysian officials, delegates, and more than 1,000 young participants from across ASEAN.

We are Vietnam’s first 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.
