Details
Like every year, the IE Debate Club holds a debate training taught by a political advisor and communication expert, the one and only, Kevin Febres.
Throughout 7 sessions, you will learn all you need to know to boost your public speaking and argumentation skills. You will also learn how a real debate works and how to crush your adversaries. These skills will help you in your class presentations and debates, as well as in your personal and professional life. You will also get an official certificate of completion and experience worth adding to your LinkedIn, ideal for 1st-year students.
If you like the experience, you can continue debating with us by joining the debates and conferences we hold (like IEUMUN 2025 and IEUMUN Jr 2025). You can even opt in to travel with us to external conferences in Boston, London, Navarra, and Madrid, an opportunity only available to those who complete the Debate Training.
Every year, we improve our offer, and the number of students attending this Debate Training increases. Due to physical limitations, we might not be able to guarantee spots for everyone. We highly recommend applying as soon as possible, as spots will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The scheduled sessions in Segovia are: Wed Sept 17, Wed Sept 24, Wed Oct 1, Wed Oct 8, Wed Oct 15, Wed Nov 5, Wed Nov 12. Sessions will be held in person at the IE Tower from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm. Rooms for every session will be duly confirmed by email and WhatsApp group announcements.
See you soon!
