Summer Debate Course
Welcome to our debating summer course!
The skills that you will learn from debating span from our most mundane interactions with each other to critical moments in human history. Anytime you are explaining your point of view or convincing someone why your favourite TV show is so great, you’re putting into action the skills of debating: persuasive explanation of your argument.
Debating also spans to the upper echelons of society - just consider the weekly grilling the Prime Minister receives in Question Time when national policy is put up for debate. This course will therefore be invaluable in all walks of your life. It will teach you how to stand up for yourself whilst remaining open minded towards others in everyday interactions. However, it will also allow you to engage with contested issues of national and international importance - from issues such as how we should best tackle climate change to what the best form of government is.

N.B. This workshop is open to students of all levels.
