The aim of this one-month intensive course provided for scholarship grantees was to provide participants with an opportunity to participate in a debate on a controversial topic while polishing their argumentation and critical thinking skills.

Participants were led through the process of affirmative and negative case construction through mini lectures on different aspects of debating and many practical tasks, role-plays, theatre based activities. The sessions ended with a debate showcase.
