Debate

The debate that I prepared for was titled "Human dignity in the light of European migrant crisis". The debate was value-based.

This was my first debate that I have ever participated in. Before going to Spain, our group prepared for the debate by watching videos of how to debate, looking at an example debate-speech and doing mini-debates for practice. Then we also wrote our own opening to a debate.

I was put into the opposition group both during this exercise and in Spain.I really felt like I was really highly prepared for this, even so, my own group managed to misunderstand how a debate was built up and my very first debate was awkward. Even so,it was a learning experience and now I know that a debate consists of only an opening, rebuttal and ending for both the opposition and government group.
