DEBATE AADHAR
Debate Aadhar is a comprehensive parliamentary debating program designed to introduce and foster debating skills among students. Our workshop includes a demo debate, interactive lectures, drills, debate games, practice debates, and personalized feedback, spanning approximately 4-5 hours. Our primary objective is to empower institutions to establish sustainable debate clubs through our training.
Organized on demand, Debate Aadhar serves as an ideal workshop for institutions aiming to form fully functional debate clubs. We provide training in either the World Schools or British Parliamentary format, equipping students with essential skills. Additionally, DNN offers ongoing support through mentorships and opportunities to participate in tournaments.
Our workshop aims to boost participants’ confidence while imparting critical research, brainstorming, and argumentation skills. This foundation enhances their ability to advocate effectively, both for themselves and others.
Debate Aadhar serves as a stepping stone for aspiring debaters to advance to higher levels of training, such as Tarkashala, and participate in prestigious tournaments like Mahakumbha. To consolidate learning, we conclude each workshop with a mini tournament at the institution, allowing students to apply their newly acquired skills in a competitive environment.
DEBATE SHRINKHALA
“Debate Shrinkhala” is a series of workshops spanning 5-10 weeks, tailored to the specific needs and demands of each institution with one class per week. The program focuses on introducing the basics of parliamentary debating.
Designed to foster a spirit of learning, “Debate Shrinkhala” includes interactive training sessions such as demo debates, practice debates, and access to a practice platform. By the program’s conclusion, our goal is to establish an independent and self-sustaining debate club within the institution.
This long-term, comprehensive training aims to cultivate intellectually curious individuals who are socially aware and capable of actively contributing to significant discussions and decisions.
DEBATE IS-COOL
“Debate is Cool” is an annual foundational training module designed for schools to introduce parliamentary debating and argumentation. The program consists of three classes per week, featuring demo debates, interactive lectures with drills, practice debates followed by feedback, access to regular practice platforms, and support for club formation.
Structured to sustain debate skills through consistent training sessions, “Debate is Cool” fosters positive changes in students’ oration, analysis, critical thinking, and argumentation abilities.
Ideal for institutions aiming to integrate debating into their Extra-Curricular Activities (ECA) or Co-Curricular Activities (CCA), the program prepares students for international styles of debating. At the conclusion of the program, students gain the skills to organise their own institution-level tournaments, providing them with a sense of achievement and practical exposure to debate culture.
Beyond skill development, “Debate is Cool” offers numerous benefits to students and institutions, including networking opportunities and the potential for future collaborations on projects. DNN is dedicated to supporting newly formed debate clubs in achieving their specific goals and aligning with their vision.
