From Beginner to Champion

As an extra-curricular activity or to train participants for a contest, we've got you covered. 

Introductory Debate

The first few sessions are about getting participants comfortable on stage through activities and practice.

We explore a variety of topics across themes and look at the best practices debaters adopt in persusasion. 

​

• The Essentials of Debate​ & Public Speaking

• Debating Rules, Vocabulary, Formats

• First, Leader, Member and Whip Speakers

• Motion Analysis

• Constructing Arguments

• Rebuttals & Engagement

• Making the most out of Prep Time

Argumentation & Rebuttals

One of the most common mistakes in debate is for a debater to throw arguments but forget to link it to the relevance of the debate.

​

Intermediate Debate training sessions focuses on exactly that - to help participants form and clearly weigh arguments and rebuttals to prove their side deserves the trophy. 

​

We combine training with discussions about strategy.

Depending on which team is assigned, participants will have to make decisions about which arguments to win and which to lose if they want to win the top spot. We teach participants how to evaluate tradeoffs and pick the smarter strategy.​
