Organised by Sunway TES Centre for Accountancy Excellence in collaboration with the Sunway Debate Club, this unique event mixes both accounting studies and debate training. With this special combination, the Accounting x Debate Workshop provides participants with a comprehensive skillset required to thrive in both academic and professional fields.
This special workshop aims to help participants stand out in a constantly changing career landscape by equipping students with versatile skills beyond the scope of traditional accounting. To that end, the institution is dedicated to fostering essential skills such as debating and public speaking, all of which are necessary for articulating thoughts and persuading audiences effectively.
And the best part is this workshop is FREE. To give you a better glimpse, here’s what you stand to gain from the Accounting x Debate Workshop 👇:
1. Sessions to cater for diverse skill levels
This workshop is designed to accommodate everyone’s debate level from zero-knowledge (Level 1), to those who have attended debate lessons (Level 2) and those who have competed in debates (Level 3). Whether you are new to debates or a seasoned debater, this programme can cater to all levels of experience. Plus, you get to partake in sessions with experienced debaters, join exciting interactive activities and listen to stimulating debates which will do wonders for your debating ability.
2. A crash course to improve critical and analytical thinking
Debate helps participants increase their ability to think critically and analytically, allowing them to form logical and coherent arguments while thinking on their feet. To that end, the workshop will host activities that require participants to analyse complex situations, break down analysis and evaluate evidence. Through these sessions, students can assess information critically, which will aid them exponentially in both academic and professional settings.
3. Level up your communication skills through debate
Effective communication is the make-or-break factor for any debate. So to focus on that aspect, the workshop will emphasise how to enhance your public speaking abilities, which will in turn assist you in articulating your thoughts clearly and persuasively. Participants will be given a chance to practice formulating ideas, presenting them confidently, and engaging thoughtfully with different perspectives. Ultimately, these skills will be useful for participants for occasions beyond the scope of debates such as presentations, interviews and even everyday conversations.
4. Practice how to manage your emotional intelligence
The art of debate requires you to manage your emotions effectively as well as empathise with others. Therefore, the workshop will offer tips on how to keep calm under pressure, accept feedback gracefully and process different viewpoints. All in all, these workshop activities can boost your emotional intelligence, helping you to build stronger relationships and utilise teamwork effectively.
