COGNITIVE EXCHANGE VIRTUAL DEBATING TRAINING

by SAI Admin

28 September, 2018

“Speech and Debate are not just a stylistic skill. So, I whole heartedly believe that kids, by the time they graduate, need to be able to get up in front of a group and say something meaningful. That translates into all courses and all manners of life.” – Emily Campbell

The Cognitive Exchange Virtual Speech and Debate Training Programme 2018 was conducted on Friday, September 28, 2018. Sixteen students from Class IX attended the first session of the nine-week programme, which is scheduled to conclude in December 2018.

In the virtual classroom session, students were introduced to the objective of the program and also to the curriculum to be used for learning the International format of debate and speech.

The program aims to enable free and critical thinking in the minds of students through, speech and debate and help them to enhance key life skills like communication, organization and leadership.

The Programme was introduced in SAI on November 2, 2015 and every year selected students from the Chairman’s Cup Debate group take part in the oral skill enhancement program.

Debate is an essential opportunity that should be provided to all students. Students involved with activities related to speech and debate students find tangible benefits. They gain confidence in speaking situations, spontaneity in interviews, improved writing in other courses etc., whereby benefiting the student even after school years.
