Course Description
Come join us to learn public speaking and debating skills, learn about new topics and sharpen your communication skills. How do you get people to listen to you? How do you make a point with humour? How do you motivate others to follow you? Each week we will learn about and discuss communication skills. Each week we will practice different strategies and exercises to master the spoken word. And each week we will have fun with some crazy and some serious debates. Should pineapple be on pizza? Should home education be abolished? Are cats better pets than dogs? Is war necessary to stop climate change? ** For Thinkers who have joined this club before - we will be discussing new topics and learning new skills. Led by Dr Karem Roitman, a political philosopher and experienced public speaker and debater. Please note the course will run for 45-50 minutes, it is key to start on time.
Cancellation Policy
All our classes require a minimum number of Thinkers to run. As soon as enough Thinkers sign up you will receive an e-mail from the Scholar running your class with a link to your virtual classroom. If we cannot gather enough thinkers to run a class we will, sadly, have to cancel and/or reschedule. If this is the case, we will e-mail 24 hours before your class is scheduled to start to let you know. To help ensure that your class does take place, please invite others to join you. We find that word of mouth is the best way to let new families know about Thinkers Meet Up. Thank you!
