Youth Speaks: A Debate

Put your public speaking skills to the test at our annual Youth Speaks: A Debate competition


Challenge your public speaking abilities and perform, persuade and entertain the audience with your display of wit and knowledge of a topic.

In teams of three, participants present arguments and points of discussion, before taking questions from the judging panel who are, themselves, skilled orators.

Participants can select a topic which is important to them, giving them an opportunity to dive deep into research, formulate ideas and build confidence.

Open to participants aged from11 to 17.
