👉 In this class, learners will conquer that fear by mastering their public speaking and debate skills in a fun and encouraging environment. Most importantly, their self-confidence will soar!  💥

👉 This engaging small-group class was specifically created for young learners that would like to learn debate / argumentation in a fun and casual environment.

🗣 We start the class by explaining the resolution. Then, learners will share their opening statements of why they agree or disagree with the resolution.

👂Then, we guide the learners through a rebuttal round, where they learn how to listen and respond to the other side in a logical and respectful way. 

📣 This class will include easy and light-hearted debate topics (are dogs better than cats, etc) that do not require any preparation.  Topics are posted in advance and learners are encouraged to think about the topic ahead of the class, and even potentially have some facts to back up their side. This is not required.

We debate a different resolution each week so learners are given consistent opportunities to practice public speaking, critical thinking, listening, and debate in every class.

Please note that we have another Beginner Debate class with more complex debate topics. See details below. 

The learning objectives are :
- Use critical thinking skills to formulate an opinion
- Gain the self-confidence to present and defend their opinion
- Utilize listening skills to be able to respond to the opposite side. (Listening is just as important as speaking in debate!)
