En esta sesión de oratoria haremos algo diferente: **simularemos un juicio** para trabajar la **oratoria persuasiva** en un entorno dinámico y participativo. No se trata de actuar ni de conocimientos legales, sino de **cómo construimos argumentos, cómo escuchamos al otro y cómo defendemos una idea bajo presión**. Una experiencia práctica para entender el impacto real de la comunicación en la toma de decisiones. ### **¿Cómo funciona la sesión?** * 2 participantes harán de **fiscales** y 2 de **abogados defensores** (con una preparación mínima). * El resto del grupo actuará como **jurado**, escuchando, votando y aportando feedback centrado en la oratoria. * Las intervenciones serán de **3 minutos**, con tiempo controlado y alegatos finales. ### **Qué trabajaremos** * Argumentación y persuasión * Improvisación * Escucha activa * Presencia, claridad y gestión del tiempo ### **El caso** Un empresario aparece muerto en su despacho tras una reunión con sus empleados. Existen pruebas, contradicciones y todos los presentes tienen posibles motivos. La pregunta que guiará la sesión es simple: **¿Es culpable el acusado?** ⚠️ Este ejercicio expone de forma consciente mecanismos de persuasión, sesgos y prejuicios utilizados en la oratoria. Los argumentos expresados durante la sesión **no representan las opiniones ni los valores personales de los participantes ni del grupo**. Una sesión intensa, práctica y reveladora sobre el poder de la palabra.

En palabras de la autora, «este libro, la represión tiene que ver con la vida cotidiana, no con grandes derramamientos de sangre ni con persecuciones policiales». **Sobre la autora** Almudena Grandes se dio a conocer en 1989 con «Las edades de Lulú», XI Premio La Sonrisa Vertical. La culminación de su carrera fueron las cinco novelas que forman sus «Episodios de una Guerra Interminable». Adaptada ampliamente al cine y al teatro, mereció, entre otros, el Premio de la Fundación Lara, el Premio de los Libreros de Madrid, el Prix Méditerranée, el Jean Monet, el Premio de la Crítica de Madrid, el Premio Elena Poniatowska, el Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz y el Premio Nacional de Narrativa.

For January, we’re reading Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy. For fans of Flight Behavior and Station Eleven, a novel set on the brink of catastrophe, as a young woman chases the world's last birds--and her own final chance for redemption. Franny Stone has always been a wanderer. By following the ocean's tides and the birds that soar above, she can forget the losses that have haunted her life. But when the wild she loves begins to disappear, Franny can no longer wander without a destination. She arrives in remote Greenland with one purpose: to find the world's last flock of Arctic terns and track their final migration. She convinces Ennis Malone, captain of the Saghani, to take her onboard, winning over his eccentric crew with promises that the birds will lead them to fish. As the Saghani fights its way south, Franny's dark history begins to unspool. Battered by night terrors, accumulating a pile of unsent letters, and obsessed with pursuing the terns at any cost, Franny is full of secrets. When her quest threatens the safety of the entire crew, Franny must ask herself what she is really running toward--and running from. Propelled by a narrator as fierce and fragile as the terns she is following, Charlotte McConaghy's Migrations is both an ode to our threatened world and a breathtaking page-turner about the lengths we will go for the people we love.
