Debating Matters seeks to offers a fresh, accessible and engaging format for debating contemporary issues. The competition has been pioneering a format for debate that takes ideas, argument and young people seriously. The focus is on content and substance over style, encouraging young people to engage in an intelligent contest of ideas and holding up their ideas to critical scrutiny.
