World Schools Podcast 3 - Framing the Motion and International Tournaments



This week we have some special guests.

International debate superstar coach Sharmila Parmanand will talk with us about framing the debate, deciding where it is going to go and what will happen before the debate even starts. She will have some very practical advice. The two motions we will be discussing in some detail as regards framing are from the Winter Holidays Open to be held in Zagreb, Croatia in December:

  • This House supports a global maximum wealth limit for individuals
  • This House would make all international resolutions and treaties legally binding on members of the United Nations, making unnecessary ratification by national legislatures.

Then we will talk to Bojana Skrt, coach of the very successful WSDC team Slovenia and a member of the WSDC Executive group. She will talk about tournaments coming up in the European zone.
