Ignorance is bliss...HOLIDAY CAMP 2007 The Debate Association (Singapore) is pleased to announce that we will be organizing a Holiday Camp from 13 – 16 December 2007 during the upcoming December school vacation. A separate letter will be sent confirming the camp’s venue. The camp will be targeted at secondary school students at beginner and intermediate debate levels. Students at these levels typically have at least a basic familiarity with the rules and format of secondary school debating and might have watched or taken part in some debates, but not extensively. The camp will focus on equipping students with the fundamental skills for competitive debating by: Developing debaters’ awareness of current local, regional and global issues. Reinforcing debaters’ argumentative, public speaking and thinking skills; Enriching young debaters through interaction with former national and international speakers who can be role models for their younger counterparts; Allowing young debaters to network with like-minded students, and cultivate a strong debating fraternity within their age group; This year’s camp will emphasize active participation by students. As such the camp will include a wide range of debate activities designed so that students are encouraged to contribute opinions and take part in an exciting exchange of ideas –while learning to speak and hold their own in a competitive debate context. Students can expect the following features from this year’s Holiday Camp: Workshops and hands-on sessions where students will simulate a range of debate environments and practice their debating skills. These include debates in the World Schools Debate format (used by secondary schools and JCs in Singapore), an ASEAN mock session and a British Parliamentary session. All sessions will focus on the use and refinement of competitive debate skills such as articulating policy proposals, utilizing effective rebuttal technique, Point of Information strategies, developing good public speaking styles and the effective use of examples. Seminars on basic debate skills of Style, Content and Strategy, as well as on a variety of global issues and current affairs subjects by speakers and practitioners in related fields. Thorough and Detailed Feedback from experienced coaches and debaters who will be judging and providing comments and tips after each debate session. A public exhibition debate on 16 December, where debaters can further refine their competitive skills. Debaters may invite their parents and families to this Finale event. Who's going...? Apart from Edward and me, I dunno....:) |
