* Parliamentary Debate is a debate that, as the name suggests, is a debate that imitates the British parliamentary format, and is widely recognized in the United Kingdom and other countries around the world as a kind of public communication. In addition, since it is a question of how to attract an audience and convince them of their own position, it is attracting attention as a highly effective educational method for fostering the comprehensive skills (logical thinking, problem-solving, communication, presentation skills, etc.) necessary for global human resources, which are in demand right now.
