Learning to speak in front of a group and being able to make an argument empowers children. It requires them to research both sides of an argument, speak out for one side, and ponder current events and age-old moral dilemmas. It encourages civil discourse and requires listening to peers. These skills are needed now more than ever to foster understanding, dialogue and informed decision-making. Inspire Speech and Debate will teach kids all of the basics throughout their week of camp, and highlight their success during our closing forum/presentation.
