What about Debating Matters UK. This is what the government of today should be aiming to do within the United Kingdom. Absolutely stimulating, it shows what the youth can do today if given the opportunity. Debates like this should be more open, I have never heard of this till today. How many youth (and adult) know the difference between the European Union and the European court of Human Right (because these are two separate bodies that are run by different people and stand for different ideology) apart from what we always hear about in the tabloids? Because both bodies have an impact on what happens within our society and we need to be discussing this and how we can get our point of view across to the elected. Why aren’t our elected rulers going to every college and secondary school within the UK and promoting this. Student from Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and England should have open debates. Arguing their views with one another, maybe they can be greater understanding between the borders. It those not mean liking what they say, but understanding what they say. Loved this mini documentary, the government should take note. Wow, what a group of thinkers and only between the ages of 16-18. What about Debating Matters UK.

The teenagers are excited and passionate about their beliefs that they are not scared of getting in to a debate with the public and the great experts. They really know that talking to people means and not talking at them. The concept of freedom of speech is a 100% exercised here because even teenagers are having a voice and expressing what they think. By making it a competition and involving judges (great experts) it gives them a platform a place where they have the intention to put their ideas and passions in real words, and it’s great that the judges are giving constructive criticism and pushing the debaters to perform to their full ability. In my opinion this should be organised on every sixth form college and secondary schools, because everyone can debate you don’t have to be a politics student or sociology student, you just have to be passionate have figures and do the homework.
