This new online resource aims to encourage all young people and teachers to engage actively with debating.
Debating in Schools will help teachers to use speech and debate techniques in the classroom, set up debating societies and get young people involved in competitive debating.
There are practical exercises, step-by-step guides and exemplars, all accompanied by expert advice. The website also highlights Scotland’s world-class record in debating and the achievements of our young people.
Debate captures the spirit of Curriculum for Excellence and can play a significant part in a schools' citizenship and Determined To Succeed activities. It is a unique way of promoting critical thinking, communication, research and enquiry skills.
Debating in Schools was produced as a collaboration between the English-Speaking Union Scotland and Learning and Teaching Scotland.
