The training topics were a short overview of the Australian Debate format, understanding the speaker roles, a short overview of motion types, and an overview of general debating strategy for both the government and opposition bench. The training started with an explanation from the trainer about the topics then followed by practicing the debate with the motion chosen by the trainer. At the end of the training, the trainer gave feedback to each speaker. The goal of the training was to enlarge the networking and develop the debating skills of the participants. For the EDS, this training was a good start to show their contribution in the form of a society services program to improve high school students’ debating skills and also gave them experience as debate trainers.
