Dublin Debaters - 1 V 1 Debates

Get ready to make your voice heard at the next meeting of People's College Debating Club on 4th March!

Whether you’re a seasoned speaker or someone who’s never stood up to debate before, this is your chance to sharpen your arguments, challenge new ideas, and build confidence in a fun and supportive environment.
This meeting will be a little different and a lot more exciting.

We are asking everyone to along a motion to debate. It can be serious, political, philosophical, light-hearted, or completely creative. Whether it’s “This House Would Ban Social Media for Under 16s” or “This House Believes Pineapple Belongs on Pizza,” we want to hear your ideas! The more varied and imaginative the motions, the better the debates will be.
On the day, we’ll be holding 1-on-1 debates for each motion. That means every idea gets the spotlight, and every speaker gets the opportunity to go head-to-head in a focused, fast-paced exchange of arguments. This format is perfect for developing quick thinking, structured reasoning, and confident delivery.

Debating isn’t just about winning an argument it’s about learning how to communicate clearly, think critically, and respond under pressure. These are skills that help in exams, university interviews, job applications, and everyday life.
So start thinking of your motion, prepare your arguments, and come ready to challenge and be challenged.

Bring a friend, bring your ideas, and most importantly, bring your voice.
We can’t wait to see you on 4th March for an evening of lively discussion and competitive spirit at People’s College Debating Club
