Welcome to the DAV Website
The DAV is a non-profit association which exists to promote debate. It
is the peak debating body in Victoria and runs large competitions for
adults and for schools across Victoria. It provides training and
resources for debaters, teachers and adjudicators.
Primary Schools Program
The Primary Schools Program (PSP) is a new program that the DAV piloted in 2009. It is an introduction to debating for primary school students that provides training in the basic skills and structure of debating, and gives students an opportunity to participate in 'friendly' debates.
The PSP runs over one school day across Terms 2 & 3. Please download the information pack for a list of dates and venues.
For more information, please make contact with the Training and Development Administrator, Andrew Costa.
