Nuance in debates (with a focus on IR): BP debating workshop for University of Warsaw

Workshop description This session isabout making more nuanced, persuasive arguments, and has a focus on International Relations motions, though its learning points can be applied to most debates. If you find yourself unsure as to why teams that ran similar ideas to you did much better in a debate, or if you struggle to come up with material when the debate is about things you don't know much about, then this workshop's for you. Who is this for The event is open to anyone. Participants are expected to have some experience with competitive debate. While the focus and examples will be based on British Parliamentary style, debaters used to other formats where analytical rigour is emphasised such as Australs, Asians, or World Schools will also benefit.
