What skills do I need?
Debating skills often need to be developed and as you interact and see the various skills in action you will develop them. It can be quite scary in the beginning, as those in the know seem so skilled and knowledgeable and can come up with logical arguments with speed – relax – they are scary! And no one expects you to match them. Take your time, listen to the process, listen to the arguments they raise and try and see how it would fit the topic. Come and watch debates and see how they are run, time limits, how to counteract the other side and the judges advice and suggestions.
