Speak Up, debate competition in French

Project: Knowledge Exchange

Project Details

Description

Competition organised by the Alliance Française with a team from Glasgow University and a team from Strathclyde University. The students prepare 4 questions in advance and discover on the night if they will argue in favour or against. The debate takes place in November during the French film festival.
I was the coordinator for Strathclyde and twice led our team to victory over the Glasgow Uni team in 2017 and 2019. Win or lose, students said how great the experience was and how different it was to speaking in class.
