05 The Power of Debate
Debate is central to democracy. It helps us to see di ff erent sides of an argument and analyze language and events carefully. Although debates are fundamentally about disagreements, they encourage active listening skills and empathy.
The Young Historians Program provides strong support to our student debaters; from researching to identifying arguments, to writing, rewriting and editing their speeches to rehearsing their delivery.
Students invest time and effort in writing their debate speeches, revising them, editing them and rehearsing them.
