Debates workshops

If you’re thinking of entering a team in the Debates, but aren’t sure what’s involved, contact us to find out about our debates workshops.

We can arrange a debates workshop in your school. It lasts approximately two hours and can accommodate 10 – 20 students. We’ll also be running workshops where students from several schools will come together to learn about the art of debating.

At the end of the workshop, the students can put their new skills to the test in a mini-debate. It's an excellent way to introduce students to debating. It’s also a good way to refresh your knowledge if you are already familiar with the debates.
