As promised, we are going to host a debating workshop delivered by Rich Penny on Tuesday 9th February at 18:30 in Cajsa (Mannerheimintie 5B, 4th floor)
Richard has debated in the UK and Finland for over 5 years now. He is a former Baltic debate champion and has reached the quarter finals of both the World and European Debating Championships. He now teaches debating in Finnish schools and has coached the Finnish high-school champions for three years running.
The workshop will focus on teaching the fundamentals skills of debating, and not so much the rules or format. We will look at questions like:
- How do you generate ideas? Getting the most out of your preparation time
- Turning ideas into arguments. Techniques for persuasion and clarity.
- How can we tell where a debate is likely to lead, and how can we get there first? Analysing motions and topics.
- How can we make an impact when speaking? Presentation and style tips.
