‘Banter is the playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks’ (Dictionary definition) But where do we draw the line between acceptable language and unacceptable language? Throughout this interactive debate students will consider the BIG question; Banter leads to bullying; 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.
