Join the STATE DEBATE CHAMPION for a fun and interactive DEBATE WORKSHOP! Emma Hassan, an upcoming junior at New Canaan High School, brings seven years of debate experience, having worked at a debate camp this summer and served as the high school liaison for Saxe’s Model UN team. In this two-day workshop, students in grades 4 through 8 will learn effective public speaking strategies, explore various debate styles, and master essential rebuttal techniques through fun games. Whether you're new to debate or looking to sharpen your skills, this workshop offers a fun and informative experience for all!
