QatarDebate (QD), member of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, has launched its new corporate re-brand identity and the new slogan "Dialogue, Debate and Diplomacy”.
The changes come at a time when QD is celebrating its 10th year anniversary and reflects the current and future direction of the centre.
Dr Hayat Maarafi, executive director of QatarDebate Center, said: "The new rebrand identity marks a very exciting time for QatarDebate. Over the past decade, we have pioneered by delivering a wide range of top-quality debate learning programmes in both languages, Arabic and English, which seek to promote the culture and use of debate, open dialogue and discussion as effective academic and personal skills. The new rebranding and slogan does a great job of capturing that.”
She added, "With confident steps, we reach young students of foreign universities and debate ambassadors of their countries, by the art of debates. The time has come to move beyond the young stage to the stage of maturity and modernity that reflects the evolution concept of QatarDebate Center.
"Dialogue is a part of our daily lives in all issues that touch our reality, but when the difference of views comes, the role of the centre is to put through the debate a strategy and a structure to manage the dialogue. From here, we begin to employ diplomacy to resolve the coexistence between the interlocutors instead of the difference in views.”
Abdulrahman al Subaie, head of Outreach Programme – QatarDebate, said: "We are excited about the rebrand change; it puts us in a better position to grow.”
He stressed that our aim is to shape the global citizens of today and the intellectual leaders of tomorrow in Qatar, the region and internationally.
