OUR ORIGIN

More Than an Academy.
A Movement.

The Art of
Discourse.

In 2025, after informally hosting events, a group of passionate educators and former debaters came together to change the landscape of debate in Kenya. What started as informal debate sessions has grown into a movement transforming young minds.

Today, we work with over 20 schools, train 50+ judges, and host tournaments that bring together universities from Kenya and Uganda. Our flagship Green Gold Cup at Strathmore University showcased the potential of Kenyan youth.

Debate preparation

Our name, Clash of Minds, reflects our core belief: that when ideas collide in structured debate, everyone emerges stronger. We're not just teaching students to argue, we're teaching them to think.
