Debating Matters gives young people the opportunity to confront the key issues of our time and creates engaged, rounded and confident young people. It encourages the next generation to go beyond the headlines and understand both sides of the argument. When so much is being questioned, Debating Matters provides the tools for serious, critical and impassioned discussion. Despite being run by small charity, we punch above our weight, with a recognised, international brand. But we need your support to keep debate alive.
DONATE
A donation will directly help to engage young people in ideas. Just £10 a month could give a young person a unique opportunity at a regional championship.
“The team were buzzing and really proud of what they had achieved. The quality of the debates throughout the day, and especially in the final, was outstandingly high. We can’t wait for next year!”
Andrew Brown, teacher
“I used to have very little confidence in my ability to speak up, until my teacher persuaded me to get involved. I now feel more confident than I’ve ever been – its massively improved me as a person!”
Molly, pupil
