Dear debaters,

In these little snippets, we will report on recent events and keep you up to date with upcoming tournaments and ways to get involved in the debating community. We also plan to provide you with learning materials from recent and upcoming workshops.
Have fun reading and see you next month!
Beginner Weeks in November
Have you been thinking about giving debating a shot but you don’t know where to start? Are you waiting for the right time to come back? Well, look no further, because this year's beginners weeks could be the perfect opportunity to get into debating. We have put together a beginners course over several weeks, covering everything from the basics of giving a good speech to the strategies of BP debating. Don't know how BP works? We have got you covered too.
The workshops will start on the 30th of September, always on Mondays at 19:00.
If this sounds interesting to you, or you know someone who has been waiting for such a course, feel free to sign up or share the link with your friends.
In case the Button doesn’t work, here is the direct link to the form.
Learning Materials From Our Workshop About Voice Modulation
After our short summer break, we started the new season with a great workshop from Felix called "Voice - How to speak so people want to listen". Whether you missed the workshop and want to learn something new, or just want to review all the relevant topics, we have made the workshop handout available online.
