104 London Debaters is a Toastmasters debate club in London that focusses on learning debating and public speaking through doing. This is best done as part of a proposition team, where you get the chance to learn about a key debating skill: how to build a strong case in favour of a motion, including structuring an argument, using logical reasoning and rhetoric, and practicing delivering in front of a supportive and questioning audience. You will also learn about different types of debate. The teams are supported by an experienced coach and mentoring is available before and after debates.
Another key aspect of learning debating in a Toastmasters debate club is learning how to oppose a motion, and as part of the Opposition team you get the chance to learn about another key debating skill: how to build a strong case against the motion, including structuring an argument, using logical reasoning and practicing delivering in front of a supportive and questioning audience. You will learn about different types of debate. The teams are supported by an experienced coach and mentoring is available before and after debates.
Learning debating at 104 London Debaters, a leading debate club in London, means developing and practicing team skills, including giving and receiving peer review during and after debates, as well as participating in workshops on topics related to debating and critical thinking. We have different types of debates throughout the year, and we believe in disagreeing agreeably.
