What is TDS?

TDS stands for Tasikmalaya Debating Society. It is one of the community in Tasikmalaya focusing on facilitating the society in Tasikmalaya to speak in front of public and debate. Our goal is to boost the motivation of every society in speaking English and thinking critically. From being always fear to become being always confident.

Our members are from the students of junior high school, senior high school, university, the teachers and the professional workers.

This Community is established since the end of 2014. Although, it is still young, but we have held and joint many events. The events joint were: 1. TDS was invited to be a speaker and adjudicator of Siliwangi Workshop and Economy Debate Competition in 2015. 2.
