Debating Matters is a national competition for sixth form students currently involving 192 schools in the UK. It was set up with the aim of providing a new style of debating to schools which focuses on substance rather than style. The premise of the competition is that debates that are worth having involve issues that have an impact on the world and affect the way in which we understand and shape it: current debates range from Wikileaks and democracy to copyright and the arts, fair-trade and whether happiness is the business of government.
