The results are in: Feedback on the FreeDebate Enabling Day

FreeDebate's Annual Enabling Day was held earlier last month.  Feedback from attendees was largely positive. Less than 5% of feedback was negative, rating a session as boring, useless, less relevant or uninteresting, around 5% of feedback was neutral, around 10% of feedback indicated a session was not attended or recalled and around 80% of feedback was positive, rating the session as above average, relevant and/or interesting. Special thanks goes out to our guest speakers Amit Golder and Nita Rao who delivered outstanding presentations on the day.

Passionate speeches from AMES students

In the second of two sessions today, ESL-background students attending a pronunciation class with Adult Multicultural Education Services broke new ground in their ability to confidently communicate and speak in front of an audience.   Last week, students rose to the challenge of focussing on confident presentation despite feelings of nervousness and language difficulties, whilst conducting a persuasive speech centred around something they would like to change in the world.  This week, students took their skills to the next level. They provided signposted speeches with reasoned content in a passionate, responsive and engaging debate about the pros and cons of vegetarianism.
