Calderhead High School’s Higher French class recently enjoyed the multilingual debate  at Heriot Watt University and all agreed that: “It was amazing!”

This is an annual event that showcases the interpreting skills of  students at Heriot Watt and  takes the form of a formal debate with two multilingual teams arguing for and against a motion of topical interest in a range of languages. Schools from all over Scotland participated in the debate by listening to the arguments, putting questions to the speakers in the languages represented and voting on the motion.
