It has been declared that there is a crisis in young people’s mental health within the UK. So is ‘Gen Z’ more at risk than previous generations of suffering from mental health issues? Or are we as a society now more aware of the importance of mental health in 2024 than we were previously? We look forward to visiting schools to explore the BIG question; Your generation is more emotionally unstable than previous generations; Agree or disagree?
By posing questions and introducing them to the concept of debating, young people will explore experiences, opinions and factual evidence to inform their arguments. Placing a strong emphasis on citizenship, students will be required to sensitively consider evidence that they have seen and heard presented via real life interviews, prerecorded footage and/or statistics.
Our Bigfoot Educators will facilitate powerful discussions that help your students delve deeper than ever before so that they all understand the responsibility we have to create safe and respectful communities together.
Debating workshop sessions are 50 minutes long and can take place in a classroom or hall with up to 35 pupils in each session.
