ACAMIS Speech & Debate (January 2019)

Join ACAMIS Speech and Debate in Dulwich Beijing on January 26 and 27th. A student-initiated event!!!!

All those interested in joining the debate contest should come to a meeting at 12:30pm on Tuesday, 6th November in Room D214. 

We need to make a final list of definite participants as soon as possible so that we can formally join the contest. If you miss this meeting you will not be able to attend the contest!

Cost to be determined.

The Debate for Change Tournament (DCT) is a student-initiated event designed to bridge service and debating together. Through a knock-on debate competition, we hope to raise awareness for three local charities: HOPE (Horses Offering People Enrichment), the Yunnan Project and MCF (Migrant Children’s Foundation). As DCT is not-for-profit and has the support of the ACAMIS Service Learning Grant, all funds will go towards running costs and local charities. At the end of the competition, the winning teams will be able to choose which charity the money raised from the competition will go towards. In this way, students will grow as critical thinkers, collaborate as debaters, and gain awareness of our local community while interacting with fundraising in a more personal and engaging way.

Upon arriving at the workshop each participant will be given a “menu” of future-ready design-themed titles. Participants will then be allowed choose what they want to learn about from the menu, ensuring that this workshop is based entirely on the interests and the needs of those in attendance. Every title brings a level of interactivity, performance, and a taste of the techniques, strategies, and thought that form a part of a dynamic instructional program that incorporates design thinking. Teachers from all subjects and grade levels welcome!
