Debate Workshop, Advanced
About
In this exercise-based three hour workshop, space is limited to only six attendees to maximize your personal time with faculty.
You’ll practice delivering a winning opening and closing statement while fielding real-time questions, rebuttals, and feedback. You’ll participate in two rounds of mock debate, gain strategies to handle the unexpected, and receive personalized guidance to sharpen your rhetorical edge. At the conclusion of the program, you’ll also receive professionally recorded footage of your debate performance for personal review.
Designed for political strategists, advocates, policy experts, candidates, and anyone preparing for a debate, this workshop will help you communicate your platform with confidence, navigate hostile or friendly questions, and even turn hecklers to your advantage.
