travailHow it works
A good debate topic offers two defensible positions and sparks varied arguments on both sides. This tool draws from a selection of contemporary topics sorted by theme (society, technology, environment, education, ethics, economics) to keep you from starting from a blank page when preparing a debate.
How do I run a structured debate from a topic drawn here?
A classic formula is to split participants into two groups (for and against), give them preparation time to list their arguments, then alternate timed speaking turns followed by a rebuttal phase and a conclusion from each side.
Are these topics suitable for a school setting?
Most of the suggested topics are suitable for educational use (civics class, debate club, oral exam prep); some more sensitive themes (ethics, society) may, however, need to be adapted to the age of the audience and supervised by a teacher or facilitator.
