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

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.
