The London Debate Challenge wouldn’t be able to take place without the continuous and
generous support of The Week, MediaCom and the ESU London Branch
Carol Sebag-Montefiore is Chairman of ESU London Region, who generously support the LDC
I have been involved with the ESU for about six years and I think teaching
debating and public speaking is important because it gives school children
tremendous confidence to stand up in front of an audience. They can learn how to
express their opinion in a concise, logical way after being involved with the London
Debate Challenge. I think the topics are made interesting by the way the teams
present them. The LDC is a wonderful grounding for future public speaking. I used
to work in a public speaking school where senior and middle management were sent
on our courses, as they could not get any further in their careers until they were able
to speak effectively in public.
I thought King’s Place was an excellent venue and I look forward to next
year’s competition!
