This September you have a great opportunity to get an introduction to formal debate in a workshop brought to you by UTA Debate Society and the Language Center. Skills learned in debate, such as argumentation, persuasion and public speaking, are useful in a range of situations across career, studies and everyday life
The workshop will be hosted by Professor Alfred Snider from University of Vermont, an award-winning debate coach, who has over 30 years of experience teaching argumentation, persuasion and debate across the globe.
The workshop is open for everyone, both Finnish and foreign students, and the program is useful no matter if you’ve never debated before or if you already have some experience. You benefit the most if you attend the workshop on both days, but registration for only Sunday or Monday is also possible.
The registration fee is 3 € which is to be paid on arrival at the workshop. The fee includes lunch on Sunday at the Language Center kitchen.
The registration for the workshop will open on August 30th.
To register, fill out the form at:

The number of participants is limited and the spots will be filled in registration order.
We look forward to seeing you there!
