Summer 2023 – Debating And MUN
April 2023
Categories: Articles, Summer workshops
Communication is a critical skill for every child in the modern world. We use debating as the vehicle to teach skills like building a strong argument, backing it up with evidence, identifying and avoiding logical fallacies and confidently rebutting the opposite side’s argument.
If your child is a debater, they will benefit. If they are not, they could get a head start into becoming one. If your child has no interest in debating whatsoever but you believe that they could do with support in building some critical thinking skills, speak up for themselves with peers and be better equipped to negotiate the different situations that life might throw their way, this is a fun way to start that journey.
Debating isn’t about loud voices. It is about solid arguments. An argument is a position one takes, not a fight…students learn to shift their thinking and get focused on the issue. They learn that Ad Hominem insults get them nowhere quick. They learn what Ad Hominem insults are and how to point them out courteously. They will learn to separate the issue from the person and set themselves on track for a professional approach, whatever be the career they choose.
Give your child the gift of learning logic and rational thinking.
