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).

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.
