Great Debate kit
This year for the first time The Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia is offering a free downloadable SSW2023 Debate Kit to support you and your class host your very own Great Debate. There is sure to be feverish discussion and impassioned arguments as your students debate the question ‘Does sport unite or divide us?’

The social sciences impact how we live our daily lives, as well as how our society functions. Watch this webinar on-demand to gain an understanding of how the social sciences help us to study, analyse and solve society’s most compelling challenges.
