The Phil is delighted to announce the first in our series of Advanced Workshops and training sessions aimed at the teams that we will be sending to the World Universities Debating Championship 2009, to be held in University College Cork over the holidays. It will take place on Tuesday, the 21st of October at 3pm in the Resource Room of the GMB.
The workshop will be given by Will Jones of the Oxford Union. One of the most accomplished debaters in the world, Will is the reigning European Champion and a former Finalist at the World Universities Debating Championship. He is also the prospective Chief Adjudicator for the European Universities Debating Championship 2010 bid from Yeditepe University in Istanbul, and has countless other accolades to his name.
The workshop is open to any members of the Phil interested in coming along. Will is delivering the talk on the topic of maximising performance at Worlds, after which there will be a debate. It promises to be an extremely interesting session. For more information, contact Jonathan, the Debates Convenor, at dc@tcdphil.com.
