Debating at the City of London A group of students participated in the City of London Debate Competition at the City of London, at the Livery Hall in the Guildhall. Five schools across the City of London network participated in the event (chaired by former Principal Mark Emmerson). The motion was: ‘The Government should censor the internet in the UK’. Two speakers from each school were put forward into two teams of 5 (cross-school teams). Special mention to Delenn Pantlitz and Camille Mackay who represented City Academy on the proposition and opposition teams. The opposition team won with some very compelling arguments about freedom of speech/tricky logistics of a full ban. The students said that it was a great opportunity to meet other people their age, learn more about a current topical issue and practise their argumentative skills!
