The Great Debates

The ESU has a proven track record of success of showcasing debate as an innovative and exciting new way to approach a variety of topics, including areas of study and areas of the school curriculum not normally associated with persuasive speaking. This work is now being consolidated in a growing number of "Great Debates", each of which takes the form of a collaboration with a leading organisation in its field. In 2009/10 our aim is to offer new Great Debates - please check back here for more details as they become available:

• The Great Urban Challenges Debate
  in association with the London Transport Museum.
