Turn dialogue training into a group experience! Debate Team is a workshop in the form of play. In this workshop your group is divided into two “sides.” The two sides debate increasingly challenging topics. Debate Team is 5 rounds, beginning with low-stakes topics around entertainment and culture to more divisive topics around politics and social morale. Groups will be given 10 minutes to come up with points to defend their assigned stance for each round. This workshop allows participants to “try on” other perspectives and practice exploring worldviews that contradict their own, in a low-stakes low-pressure environment. Participants will learn to hold multiple perspectives, consider other experiences and understand where conflicting views stem from. In the end, participants should have increased skills in dialogue, dictation and navigating conflict. All while having a good laugh and a good time!
Our workshops are roughly 2 hours long (in person or virtual) and include a presentation, exercise and Q&A.
