NYC Debate

Hi Everyone,
Both newcomers and experienced debaters are welcome to join. We meet at a table in the Sony Public Atrium on Madison between 55th & 56th St. We'll have a sign displayed on the table so you can find us.
Here's what you can expect:

• We'll start out with introductions so we can learn a little about each other
• A little ice breaking
• Overview of how to debate
• Overview of Topic
• Choosing Debate format (team, free debate, round robin, etc)
• Choosing sides (I encourage you to choose a side that you don't believe in to make it more fun, but your choice!)
• Debate starts! - Each person speaks for a few minutes introducing their ideas and countering their rivals
• Round 2 – We choose what to do next, either a debate new topic, or we swap sides to debate the same topic from the opposite point of view
• Final Discussion - we'll talk about what we liked and didn't like in the debate, and have a chance to say anything we didn't bring up at the time, and have a general chat
