Product of the Month: Debate Masterclass

We are very excited to be holding our upcoming online Debate Masterclass course from the 14th of February to the 23rd of February. Our Debate Masterclass teaches classic British Parliamentary Debating with a combined focus on core debate skills, current affairs and practical training to provide students with an engaging program that develops their knowledge and confidence in public speaking.

To ensure each student has the necessary room to grow and flourish in developing their skills, we implement small classes of circa 6-8 students with a separate cohort for beginner, intermediate and advanced students of debate. The course is taught by our expert British Parliamentary Debate Tutors, each with professional debating experience who bring a high level of debate knowledge, analytical thinking and teaching expertise in developing students’ ability and passion for debating.

This is an excellent chance for students to engage with debating, prepare for debating contests, or hone their public speaking for interview. Through studying and applying their knowledge of debate, students improve their verbal expression and thinking skills; self-confidence and leadership; research and analysis skills through low-stakes situations, preparing them for future pursuits in their academic career.

There are many skills in life that our young people will need to acquire to build healthy and happy lives and careers. Leadership, communication, teamwork and negotiation are just a few skills that are needed throughout your life. These same skills are taught in our Debate Masterclass. Throughout this course, students will take it in turn leading their team into the debates. They will coordinate the team’s efforts and will learn how to direct arguments with vigour and determination towards their opposition.

If there was one thing that built my confidence through my education at Eton College and the University of Cambridge it was the participation in debates. I won some of those debates, others I lost; invariably, I learned from the experience. Debating is a great way to build more than just confidence. It teaches you to think on your feet, to be creative with your ideas and to interrogate the arguments that are placed in front of you.

Practising debate skills can seem daunting no matter what your age and ability, however, our Libra Education Debate Masterclass introduces learners of all capabilities to the fundamentals of debate technique and matches them with their peers to promote teamwork, communication and a love for the spoken word.
