If you think that debating is a boring yawnfest of nerdy trust-fund frat boys in matching argyle sweaters bantering about who-gives-a-sh**, then you NEED to come to this training!!
Debating is a fun, and usually hilarious, way to practice your impromptu speaking and on-your-feet thinking skills. And, as a bonus, gives you a chance to impress your peers with your wit and charisma!
This session will start with "the rules", offer a few tips about strategy, and a couple of quick war stories from my own JCI debating experiences to help convince you that its okay if you don't think you can do this - you CAN! Then, you'll see a demonstration debate, and then its your turn - the best way to LEARN debating is to DO IT!
No need to study up on current affairs or economic theory to be prepared for this - the topics will likely centre around things like comic book heroes, the battle of the sexes, and alcoholic beverages. All you need to do is pack a little bit of courage, some wit and your personality, and you will be a star debater in no time!!
