Public Speaking at Uni – 02 Argumentation in Class

Share

Public speaking and argumentation; uni expects this of you, but this can be quite daunting. In this event we will focus on public argumentation. You might be able to fully prepare a presentation beforehand, but a discussion runs more organically. In a low-threshold manner we will look at and primarily practice quickly explaining your vision, and presenting it in a convincing manner.

At university, an exchange of perspectives takes place. That is a great asset, but it also means that visions will clash. As a student, you are expected not only to present your vision persuasively, but above all to critically examine the views of others and be able to defend your own. 
 
It is one thing to develop your arguments in the quiet surroundings of your own desk, but it is quite another to test those points against your fellow students, as well as engage with theirs. Still, this is an essential academic skill. 
 
In this event, we will therefore work together on debating in public. Step-by-step and with plenty of room for fun, we will practice together and build confidence. Because the perspective you have developed deserves to be defended effectively.
