What do you mean US-style? As far as I'm aware, such debate clubs exist all throughout the world. The most famous of which are probably the Cambridge Union and the Oxford Union both in the UK.

It might be anglo-saxon style. I've never seen them in mainland Europe in this format.
I don't know about the Oxford Union, but the people arguing in the Cambridge Union generally believe the arguments they are making. This makes it quite different from debate clubs in school.
