🗣️ What We’ll Do in Class

Learners will explore what debating is and how it can help us communicate and think more deeply. We will discuss fun, accessible topics, practise expressing different opinions, and explore how to give reasons to support an argument.

Through guided activities, mini-debates, and group discussions, learners will have opportunities to speak, listen, ask questions, and respond to other ideas. They will also practise disagreeing politely and recognising that there can be more than one way to look at a topic.

No previous debate experience is needed! The focus is on participation, trying new skills, and building confidence one step at a time.
