Monash Youth Big Debate
Monash Youth Services will be celebrating the Victorian Youth Fest this year by organising the Monash Youth Big Debate event. Debaters will be recruited from local secondary schools, and the debate topic will be consulted with young people from the Monash community. The debate will take place at the Monash Civic Centre on Thursday 29 September 2022, from 5.30pm to 8pm. There will be acoustic performances before and after the actual debate, and finger food will be provided.
MYS is still recruiting debaters. As we are targeting young people both with and without debate experiences, there will be four training and preparation sessions ahead of the debate event. Each debate team will be allocated one experienced debater from the Monash Association of Debaters. All the training sessions will happen on Thursdays on Zoom, and the dates and times of the sessions are from 4.30pm to 6pm on 1, 8, 15, and 22 September. Young people will need to attend all the sessions to become the debaters for this event. If you would like to know more about this event, please contact Monash Youth Services at 9518 3900.
