Re:debate is a series of intensive debate workshops for pupils of Ukrainian schools. Together with experienced coaches from Ukraine and Denmark, participants will learn to present the best arguments and prove their point of view in discussions on various topics: from promoting their ideas at school level to discussing climate issues with the international community.
The program consists of two parts: gaining basic debate skills and practical training in preparation for international competitions. Participants in the program who show the best results will form a team that will represent Ukraine at the Nordic Schools Debating Championship 2022 in Copenhagen in April or May this year.
Partakers have the opportunity to: master the basic theory of debate and delve into its practical details, learn to better form and prove their point of view, hone public speaking skills, develop critical thinking and ability to respond quickly to new challenges, join the community of leaders who raise global issues, and compete for the opportunity to represent Ukraine at international competitions in Denmark.
