Give your children the gift of self-confidence by booking them a place on our
next debating workshop for students from Year 5 to Year 11.
Taking place during half term on April 10th and 11th, the workshop is designed
both for beginners and for those who have attended previous courses and
would like to build on what they learned.
In small groups matching their age and experience, students will be able to
practise their public-speaking skills and expand their knowledge of the big
issues of the day. They will learn from our team of experts how to craft a logical
argument and win over an audience; and they will also be taught the all-
important tool of listening to the case made by others and responding. The
course culminates in a grand debate finale when the students put their
newfound skills to the test.
On the afternoon of the 10th, there will be a special address by Megha Mohan,
who will relate her inspiring life story as the BBC's first gender and identity
correspondent.
Students are split into groups according to their school year and experience.
Junior Stream: Confidence, expressing yourself, public speaking, current
affairs
Debating is a great way to gain confidence, develop key skills and enhance
awareness of the world around you. Using energetic and interactive games, our
highly-motivated mentors introduce students to the art of debate. We use
debating as a vehicle to develop all of these attributes, while engaging with
topics ranging from the morality of artificial intelligence to whether politicians

are paid too little.
Advanced Stream: Thinking critically, case-building, analysis, help with
GCSEs
Irrespective of previous experience, learning to debate is a sure-fire way to
enhance key skills, deepen knowledge of current affairs, gain new perspectives
and improve academic attainment. It is in this stream where students can really
put their competitive debating into practice — a proven and powerful way to
stand out in every area of life.
During the school holidays we run two-day debating workshops for students to
learn these skills. For further details click here.
Parent and Student Testimonials
'I enjoyed it so much I did it twice! It gave me the opportunity to meet lots
of different people my age who were all really interested and engaged in
debating. I found that it helped me to structure and understand
arguments, which has been really useful in both debating and school
work.'
'I just wanted to say thank you for running such a fantastic workshop. Both
our children were really hesitant but couldn't wait to go back for the
second day. The quality of their arguments has improved which has had a
positive impact on academic performance. We're very glad we chose to
send them!'
