Online Summer Debate Camp for Advanced and Intermediate Students
The Athens Two-Month Summer Online Debate camp is for advanced and intermediate students. This program will teach students every key competency related to philosophy, policy, and technical debate. Students will learn nearly 70 different topics covering every major philosophy, policy theory, and technical debate concept in debate. In the school year, debate programming is often forced to focus on topic-related preparation so that students can adequately prepare for tournaments. The issue with this is that next-level success in debate requires more than topic-specific content knowledge. The most successful debaters have always been those that have a firm grasp on debate's core pillars: philosophy, public policy, and technical debate theory. When students masters these three pillars they are able to make more advanced frameworks, more nuanced arguments, and most importantly not get intimidated by unfamiliar or complex-sounding argumentation. This program intends to solve this problem by teaching students over 30 different philosophies, dozens of different policy theories, and a dozen different technical debate concepts. Students will leave this camp with a world of knowledge, confidence in the intellectual pillars related to debate, and ready to take their debate argumentation to the next level.
This program will be purely online. Students will receive video lectures and accompany materials to learn the material. They will then complete an online quiz for each and every competency. Students must master each concept to successfully complete the program. Quizzes simply serve as a way to ensure learning and give students a sense of achievement.
The course is self-paced. The course is designed for students to complete it at their leisure over a two-month period. However, more ambitious students are welcome to complete it faster. Alternatively, students with more demanding schedules are welcome to take more time to complete the course.
The course will have weekly live interaction with an actual instructor. Students will have the ability to speak with an instructor twice a week to get assistance, ask questions, etc.
We are 100% convinced that this online summer debate program is the best way for both advanced and intermediate students to take their debate skills to the next level.
Students who enroll in this program are also welcome to compete in the Athens Summer Debate Tournament that will take place on Saturday, August 24th. Students will get the opportunity to apply their newfound knowledge and skills on the Fall Debate topic and get 6 rounds of practical debate experience.
