Our Debate Mate team had an amazing day at the Debate Mate Launch Programme, held at the Emmanuel Centre in Westminster. They watched a live debate in action and learned how real debaters present and defend their ideas. Students also met Debate Mates from many other schools, played Launch Bingo, and even had a go at debating themselves! The event was inspiring, fun, and has made them even more excited to take part in future competitions.
