Abstract
Debating helps students become better critical thinkers and empowers them to make informed choices about their future. However, what do you do when no one else in your school is willing to debate? This paper will focus on the successes and challenges of running a series of online sessions
for secondary school pupils and practising public speaking in a remote environment.
