Successful November Debate Academy!
Reflections from Debaters
A few months ago, I did my first debate class. Since then, I've loved it!
Debating helps me develop skills such as seeing other points of view, public speaking, and thinking outside the box. I love all of the classes, but enjoy the British Parliamentary style because it challenges me! I look forward to learning more about debate and making my speeches clear and well-structured.
I would definitely recommend debate to a friend. I'm so glad I discovered this new passion!

Our online programming has exceeded our expectations and has come with unexpected added expenses.
Please consider a gift to support SEDA's virtual programming for Saskatchewan youth.
We thank you for your generosity!
