Workshop on Debating Skills
“It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it.” -Josheph Joubert.
Everyone must have the capability to put forth his/her points in front of others. Having good communication skills is an art and need of the hour. Keeping the same in view, DAV Public School, Uppal’s Southend, sector-49, Gurugram organized a workshop on ‘Debating Skills’ for the students of Grade X on 29 April 2022. The resource person, Ms. Kiran Misra, a communication skills and English Expert, shared her ideas with the students and explained to them the importance of having debating skills.
A presentation was shown to illustrate how to choose and record materials, ideas, clippings, and anecdotes to build a strong argument. She told the students that repetition of words and content without strong facts makes up for a weak debate. The session continued as she presented 17 types of debates that could be used in a classroom situation. She also talked about the different kinds of speakers and their needs. She further highlighted the importance of body language, content, and time which are the most important aspects of the debate.
The students were also invited to have a hands on experience on the various styles of debate, choosing a topic of their choice. A lot of brainstorming was done during the demonstration.
Overall, it was an enjoyable yet great learning experience for the students.
