"In the debate sessions we work on skills that are usually left out of everyday classes at university "

Carlos Nagore

International Relations and Law student

In the debate sessions we work on skills that are usually left out of everyday classes at university and which are key, such as rhetoric, oratory, verbal and non-verbal communication. They help you to convey the arguments you have created from scratch to the public, in such a way that they can understand them and to make other colleagues’ arguments your own to be able to understand them and then reflect on them. I think this is a key contribution to university education

Carlos Nagore, International Relations and Law student

Our club’s aim is to encourage the debate in different formats: inside the University, by accompanying and leading the process of initiation to the debate of our beginner mates; and outside the University, by representing the University of Deusto in leagues against other universities or in parliamentary simulations where debate has a leading role.

Observations:

To access the club, it is indispensable to have successfully overcome the course of introduction to debate, or to prove, by interviews, a sufficient trajectory and solvency in the area of the debate.

Those responsible for the activity may deny the continuity of participation to a student in the case of actions and/or attitudes contrary to the educational project.
