Speech & Debate Academy with SEDA

Did you know The Saskatchewan Elocution and Debate Association (SEDA) has a Speech & Debate Academy? If you have a child who loves to debate, argue their point and learn, this after-school program will be perfect. Classes will allow students to work on their skills and give them new ways to express their opinions. Students will learn and practice public speaking and debate skills. Your debaters will think critically and have a chance to have their say in a thoughtful and creative way.

The Saskatchewan Elocution and Debate Association is a registered charity and a volunteer-driven organization that promotes debate and speech throughout Saskatchewan. Founded in 1974, SEDA is dedicated to community development and hosts tournaments, helps start speech and debate clubs, runs workshops and teaches speech and debate skills to students.
