Jake says of his debating Matters experience: “Having taken part in Debating Matters last year, it was not a difficult decision to get involved this year as an alumni. I really believe the competition is massively important. I found a lot of school confining in its structures and banalities; when writing essays, one was almost encouraged to sit on the fence, to give dispassionate accounts of two sides of any argument. Debating Matters meanwhile actively encourages a strong line of argument, and gives partakers the freedom to be original in their debates. I have since experienced a similar change of values at university. Essentially, DM is a more advanced form of intellectual pursuit for young people. I look forward to helping out this year!”
