Learners will gain practice in argumentation and presentation, in the use of language and words to craft important ideas and the practice of reading and researching the important events of the world helping them to be informed world citizens who can discuss and debate with confidence and kindness.  

I am a world citizen.  I teach debate and I am a human rights lawyer who spent many years in United Nations Courtrooms arguing out global events.  I think it is essential to have young people who can critically think, who can research and understand good sourcing of information and who can learn to articulate their ideas and positions while still remaining respectful and kind.
