Debating workshop and weekly debate on Tuesday 29th on November

Monday, November 28th, 2011

Tomorrow we will have a debating workshop before our weekly debate. There has been a lot of talk about debating theory, strategy, role fullfilment and content, and now there is a chance to actually learn about these things from our experienced members. Anna and Ami have promised to give an introduction to debating. This will be very useful for all the debaters, newcomers or older members. The workshop will be interactive, so idea is that you’ll get a chance to practise defining motions or to do something similar

The workshop will start at 17.30 in Lakki ( at Domus Gaudium, Mechelininkatu 3C, 1st floor). The weekly debate will take place after the workshop at 19.00.

Some of you have announced participation already in facebook, but I hope to see as many debaters there as possible.
