SETTING UP A DEBATE CLUB
A debate club gives students of all abilities a fun way of developing their oracy skills. You can use different activities to help students with their critical thinking and confident communication. The club could also help students to become more informed about political and global affairs, or provide a venue for students to train for debate competitions with local school, or at a national level. Most existing schools debate clubs rely on older students to help to organise the club, or to advise the younger students. If you’re starting a new club, you can quickly involve students by asking them to suggest topics for discussion, do research and give presentations on areas they are interested in, recruiting other students to the club and giving feedback on their favourite club activities.
