Debating Done Differently.
We love debating, and we think it should be for everyone – not just an exclusive club producing mini-Boris Johnsons.

We like competition – but we think it should add to the fun, not be the focus, And we think the Dark Arts of Debating, like twisting the truth to win an argument, should be learned for self-defence in the real world, rather than to whip an opponent. 

The Debate Planet approach makes debating welcoming and inclusive without losing any academic rigour. So how do we do it?
