Welcome to the Cullybackey College Debating Society. Every week we debate a range of contemporary topics that the students find interesting and engaging. Each half term the Debating Society comes together to decide what the topics will be for the term ahead. Those who attend the weekly debates learn how to structure arguments, speak persuasively and think on their feet. Join us to be informed and entertained with some verbal jousting.
The Debating Society promotes skills such as:
Critical thinking
Communication skills
Independent research
Teamwork
2020 was particularly exciting for the Debating Society. Despite being our first year, our school was selected to represent NI in the European Youth Parliament in Liverpool.
As well as weekly meetings we organise various trips throughout the year, as you can see from the posts below.
