in force since the beginning of 2015, the new moral and civic education programmes aim to acquire a moral and civic culture and critical thinking that aims to enable students to gradually become aware of their responsibilities in their personal and social life. These new programmes also place great emphasis on learning about debating knowledge. In order to meet these requirements, my research has focused on the practice of debates to determine whether or not they improve the school climate. In this sense, I had the opportunity to hold debates on different topics such as violence, harassment, fraternity and friendship. The results and analysis of this professional practice have enabled me to highlight the acquisition of language and social skills.
