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 EFTA01034287 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!'
