Looking at how debates work, when they're most appropriate, and where to start if you are preparing to speak in one for the first time.
About this Event

This workshop will provide an overview of the 3Ps - philosophy position presentation - and some basic techniques for combining them to build a case in defence of your position.

The day will begin with a masterclass, in which you will be broken up into small groups to work on a series of exercises, so you can get comfortable speaking in front of each other before you are asked to speak in front of the rest of the room. No one will be required to speak in front of the room until they feel ready to do so.

After lunch will be dedicated to a mock debate, which will serve as a rehearsal for the upcoming public debate on the same topic. Members can volunteer to be on the panel for these debates a week in advance when the topic is announced, but everyone can take part by questioning the speakers, making speeches of their own, and offering feedback.

All participants will receive a paper handout on arrival. All you will need to bring with you is something to write with.

Debate London's Coaching team brings together 6 of the greatest debaters from across the UK and the USA with a combined experience of over a century in debating. Wether that is leading on the debate competition circuit, judging debates across university & professional levels or running debate training organisiations to develop the next generation of debaters our team will give you the skills you need to debate with the best of them
