Short anotation:
The course develops one of the key skills in an internationalized academic
environment - debating in English. The aims of the course are for students to
learn how to build clear, effective and evidenced argumentation, to get to know
main tools of persuasion and to develop their negotiation skills. The emphasis
is placed on the development of students' analytical and critical thinking
within discussions on a wide range of topics on current social events,
including multiculturalism and intercultural competences.
