About This Activity
At High School Public Forum Debate Camp, students will learn the fundamentals of public forum debate and develop the skills they need to become more competitive as debaters. In public forum debate students write a pro and a con speech on a topic that changes during the school year. Public forum debate is typically focused on a hot-button issue, where students debate both sides and develop perspective taking, critical thinking, and listening skills. The daily schedule will include topic lectures by licensed teachers, university instructors, and mentorship by college students. Students will collaborate and learn in research groups and have daily speeches and skill building development. Over five days students will have active participation in speaking exercises, topic discussions, and research sessions to advance your skills in preparation for a successful school year. Lunch in the Augsburg Cafeteria is included in the tuition cost.
