Join us for the National Final 2011/12 on Friday 29 June to Sunday 1 July.
We are delighted to be hosted at the prestigious Wellcome Collection in central London. The Wellcome Collection is a free visitor destination for the incurably curious. It explores the connections between medicine, life and art in the past, present and future. The venue offers visitors contemporary and historic exhibitions and collections, lively public events, the world-renowned Wellcome Library, a café, a bookshop and conference facilities. Debating Matters would like to thank all involved for agreeing to be our hosts this year.
We would also like to thank the competition’s prize sponsor Hodder Education for their continued and generous support of Debating Matters.
