BEYOND is a non profit organization that focuses in proliferating critical thinking to support the pillars of democracy. As part of Indonesia young generation, we believe that we should exercise our freedom of expression as a part of participation in democracy. Debating is one of the most effective means to express and discuss different ideas in a constructive manner. Monetary and geography constraint should not become an obstacle for students to exercise such freedom. Therefore, people’s, especially students access to acquire skills in critical thinking should be made easy.
We as volunteers of BEYOND hope that this one year mission for Indonesia can be meaningful. We encourage new debating institution or anyone that wants to acquire skills in critical thinking to support our cause and join our project. The target of our mission is to increase the level of competition in our debating communities and in the long run create a more progressive society
