Women Veterans ' Virtual Debate Training' Starts in March 2021

Thanks to funding from the Covenant Trust Fund we are, at last able to progress our Veterans British Parliamentary Debate Training Project. As such, we are delighted to partner with Parallel Histories https://www.parallelhistories.org.uk/ to deliver virtual debate training to women veterans in March 2021.

A team of eight women veterans will initially work with a group of students to learn the art of debate. During the course participants will gain an understanding of debating, confidence in public speaking, and the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills that enhance their ability to structure and organise thoughts and arguments. By enhancing the learners' analytical, research and note-taking skills, the women will learn how to form balanced, informed arguments using reasoning and evidence. The participants will also be invited to visit the House of Commons & House of Lords to see debates taking place in both sides of the House when the current C-19 restrictions permit.
