What we’re about
## Nice To Meet You! We're Debate London
Join us and we will teach you how to speak in public, think strategically, and deal with conflict. We will then give you a platform to lead by example in our monthly debates, that are free to attend and open to all, so you can show those in search of a more civil way to examine our differences what it really means to be a great debater.
We provide 2 types of events:
Public Speaking and Debate Training workshops - Instead of inviting guest speakers to sit on our debate panels, we train our members to defend the competing perspectives shaping the debate in their own words and develop the skills that allow our members to tackle any topic and find the arguments for any side.
Public debates - Every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month we debate issues that divide public opinion, which this year ranged from inducting Ukraine into NATO and deposing Boris Johnson to falling UK birth rates and fake news. Topics are expressed not as a question, but as a proposal that the audience must vote to accept or reject after hearing all the arguments.

Learn how to prepare a quality speech, presentation or argument in 20 minutes! From one of London's leading Debate Coaches.
In this 4.5 hour Masterclass we will be exploring: the tactics used before the speech. What to include, what to leave out, and what order to say it all in! Especially, when you are preparing to give a talk or a speech without much time to really prepare.
Key Skills we will be covering:- Stakeholder analysis & Evidence (what sort of arguments can you build?)
- How to build an argument
- The basics of narrative building
This workshop for debaters and speakers of all skill ranges will introduce you to stakeholder analysis and balancing. A core aspect of effective debate preparation and argumentation.
