• Debate Workshop – Dutch/Czech Exchange Students

    Debate Workshop – Dutch/Czech Exchange Students On April 16th, I’ll be working with a group of 54 Dutch exchange students for a full-on, high-energy debate workshop. No sitting back. No hiding. Everyone speaks. Through fast-paced games, challenges, and structured debate rounds, students jump straight into using English to think, react, and argue. They’ll build strong arguments, defend their ideas, and learn how to respond when someone disagrees — all under time pressure. It’s competitive, it’s loud, and it’s fun. The goal? Get every student actively using English, pushing their limits, and discovering that they can say more than they think.
