Call of the Wild Debate

Critical thinking and discussion in science are vital tools to help future generations make informed decisions about scientific policies which will shape the future of conservation. Debates are one of the best ways to engage audiences with topical subjects like the reintroduction of animals where there are both direct and indirect impacts on people.

I have more than 15 years experience in developing and delivering curriculum linked science activities and facilitating debates for 14 year olds and older.

Should large predators like the lynx and wolves be returned to the UK?

Join the discussion on one of our most hotly debated conversations on conservation.

Students will hear a short 15 minute presentation about large predator conservation before taking part in engaging and thought provoking discussions about some of the big questions surrounding wildlife reintroductions. Students will have a range of opportunities to express their views. Prompts and discussion materials will be provided.

Experiences are linked to the Curriculum for Excellence and the National Curriculum covering relevant biology science and topical science outcomes.
