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.
As promised, this Thursday 14.10 we’re going to have a workshop by an invited guest from Estonia. The workshop will take place this at 18:00 in Cajsa (Mannerheimintie 5B, 4th floor). The workshop will be about in-depth analysis of case-building and argumentation in debating and it will be given by a very experienced and accomplished debater from Estonia – Uve Poom. Among his many accomplishments, Uve won the European Debating Championship in 2007 in English as a second language category. Trust me, the workshop will be useful as much as it’s going to be fun.
