Students will learn to roleplay, how to present proposals, and how to engage in politics to pass their resolution. Each class begins with a brief lecture, followed...
This class is taught in English.
Students will learn how to work in teams, better their research, public speaking, and knowledge of global politics. They will also learn how to compromise in order to draft mutually beneficial resolutions.
The BCDA's founder has been run a competitive college debate team for twenty years. He has also run elementary and middle school debate workshops for the past four years both in the US and internationally. We have now taught well over a thousand kids from countries around the world digitally through this platform with great reviews. If for whatever reason you feel the class didn't live up to what you were looking for, please contact us for a refund. We are offering these courses as a way for students to get the benefits of debate and peer-directed education while schools are shutdown. Debate is not necessarily for everyone, but we are confident that if your kid is excited about it they will enjoy this class, and don't want you paying if that's not the case.
