Debaters of Holy Trinity High School demonstrate a key technique as they show Scotiabank’s Hope McMillan Canaan (left), how to indicate a point of information which is a question or a statement that is raised while a speaker of the opposing team is speaking. Debatemate uses a peer-to-peer method of teaching debating that enables students to channel negative behaviour into a positive and constructive way that can be applied to conflict resolution. Scotiabank has partnered with Debatemate to expose students in inner-city communities to an alternate way to encourage discussion through debate.
