To qualify for the big championship finale, you need to sign up for the workshop organised at your faculty by Rhetorica. In the first part of the workshop, you will be given theoretical training in the British parliamentary debating style, argumentative skills and rhetoric deliverance. In the second part, you will be trained in the practical application of the theory you have learned in two debates judged by our very own trainers and judges. The schedule for the workshops will be announced via the Studium Generale website.
This event is in cooperation with the Maastricht Rhetorica Debating Society and Studium Generale
Debating is a vital part of any academic field. It allows us to challenge our own perspectives and criticise those of others with no hard feelings.
