Mission Statement
Debate Mate is an educational charity which delivers peer-led debate clubs in schools in areas of high child poverty to develop key communication skills.
About This Cause
The Debate Mate programme uses debate to develop key communication, leadership, and teamwork skills, whilst at the same time developing confidence, resilience and self-esteem. Ourweekly debate clubs are led by university-student mentors who share their experiences and act as role models for the young people we work with. This unique model helps raise aspirations and encourages pupils to consider higher education. We also have an Accelerate programme; working with students that are at risk of exclusion or are not engaged in education. This year, we piloted the Debate Mate Plus programme, which is designed for students in years 10-13 and has a focus on UCAS preparation, career development and British Parliamentary debating. The life skills that the programme develops are crucial to improving social mobility in deprived communities.
