Our debating classes are fun, engaging and competitive. You will be surprised at how quickly you improve your critical thinking skills and articulate your ideas strategically. The great benefits of debating are consolidating the confidence to speak in public, honing your ability to construct logical arguments and perfecting the art of persuasion.
