Hear Me Out: Finding Your Voice Through Debate 6-week Course in Ascot
About the 6-week Program
Hear Me Out in Ascot is a free 6-week program for people with intellectual disability aged 17+.
Want to build confidence, share your ideas and connect with others from the comfort of home?
Using debate as a fun and engaging platform, participants explore different topics, choose a side, share their ideas and listen to different opinions. Along the way, they practice speaking, listening, thinking and working together.
Across six weeks, you will:
– Share your ideas and opinions
– Practice speaking in front of others
– Learn to give reasons for what you think
– Listen and respond to different ideas
– Work as a team and support other participants
– Build confidence in using your voice
No debate experience is needed. The program is about having a go, discovering what you can do and becoming more confident in sharing your ideas.
The program was co-designed with people with intellectual disability and is delivered by DSIDQ staff and Peer Mentors in a safe, supportive and fun environment.
