Teachers
In Convence we believe that debating is a very efficient tool for interchanging ideas. Every teacher can enrich his/her knowledge and apply the practice of debate, and subsequently share the experiences and ideas to the benefit of their students.
Why would we want to learn to debate?
A debate in the widest sense contributes to improve the quality of our verbal communication to express ideas convincingly and with self-confidence. It obliges to express our ideas from different points of view in an orderly and decisive way. It teaches to articulate ideas clearly and rapidly, and to think critically. Debating forces us to analyse, define, argue, present the message and furthermore…to listen carefully!
Through a playful dynamic, at the end of the training you will understand for your own benefit what are the important aspects of the personality of a debater, and at the same time be able to focus and express any personal conviction and make it an effective tool in discussions. You can use and adapt the exercises of the course according to your own ideas and needs of the students.
At the end of the course you will have learnt:
• How to prepare a structured debate
• Listen with empathy
• Think critically
• Understand what it takes to be convincing
• Unravel the structure of the argument
• Discriminate between strong and weak ways to reason
• Ask critical questions and provide effective answers
• Learn how to make useful interruptions
• Work in a team
