In our Zombie Apocalypse Training Session, participants will engage in a number of activities that will exercise some of the core skills in competitive debating:
- Characterisation
- Analysis
- Rebuttal
- Weighing
- Style
- Framing
- Policy Implementation
…however, this session has a special twist - instead of usual topics like politics, sports, art, philosophy, social justice, economics, etc., each activity will take place in the scenario of a zombie apocalypse!!!!
(Oooh, scary)
All skill-levels are welcome to participate or watch, as we hope this session will form a good bedrock of skills to those new to debating, and a fun re-fresher for those returning to the game.
18:00-19:00 - The Zombie Apocalypse Activity Training Session
19:00-21:00 - A Themed Competitive Debate Spar In British Parliamentary Debate Format (feel free to watch, speak or judge)
21:00-22:00 - Relax In The Courtyard After The Session To Meet The Committee, Learn About The Society And Befriend Our Members
Depending on availability, we may also be giving away free LDU-branded water bottles and pens to attendees of the Training Session.
You can come to any section of this Give It A Go session, simply whichever parts suit your schedule and interests - and don’t forget, we have training sessions every Tuesday and Thursday at 6pm, and also regularly host events and socials, and attend debate competitions across the U.K. and the world.
