Workshops

Welcome Workshops

Join us for FREE introductory Workshops! These beginner friendly sessions give students in grades 5 to 12 a chance to try out speech and debate in a relaxed and supportive setting. These workshops are designed for students with no experience, and for those who want a refresher.

If a student already has a few years of experience with speech and debate, we invite them to register for Introduction to British Parliamentary Style Debate, an overview of a fun and challenging debate style!

Parents are invited to stay for an Introduction to SEDA for Families session. This is a chance to learn more about who we are, what your child will be doing, and how you can get involved through volunteer judging opportunities.
