The Israel Debating Society

Learn debate  this summer at one of our debating workshops!

Learn to present yourself and your ideas like a professional



What is Debating?

Debating is the world's most popular method  of persuasion. It is also a 
sophisticated way of discussing ideas. In debate you learn to argue 
convincingly and confidently as well as to speak charismatically to an 
audience. Based on a thorough knowledge of the subject being debated, you will 
acquire the skills of organized thought, rhetoric, clarity, a forceful and 
convincing style, logic, humor, wit and even irony and sarcasm.

Will it improve my English?

Absolutely! Beyond all expectations. And you don't have to be an English 
speaker to participate. If you prefer not to debate in English then you can 
attend the Tel Aviv workshop that will be offered in English and in Hebrew.

Who are we?

Sia'h vaSig: The Israel Debating Society is a registered non-profit 
organization founded in 1987 to introduce debating skills into the educational 
system to improve the level of private and public discourse in society. Our 
first workshop took place in 1993 and has grown over the years from 40 to 200 
participants.

Why should I want to do this?

. Sharpen your tongue

You'll learn to develop strong arguments designed to persuade, to use the right 
words with the right voice, to think on your feet and finally, to use wit and 
humor effectively.

. Sharpen your mind

You'll learn to analyze topics logically, listen attentively, master the art of 
persuasion, think on your feet, organize your thoughts and to understand 
difficult concepts faster.

. Sharpen your appearance

You'll learn how to make a good first impression, improve your body language, 
use gestures effectively and conquer stage fright.

. Travel abroad

If you continue to participate in Sia'h vaSig's regular weekly meetings, you 
will have the opportunity to compete for a place on one of the teams 
representing Israel at international debating tournaments that bring together 
the best high-school debaters from around the world.

The Summer Debate Workshops 2008

This summer we are running three debate workshops - Lod, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv 
- but you do not have to be a native English speaker to participate. If you 
prefer to debate in Hebrew, we are running a Hebrew workshop in Tel Aviv. 

In addition, this year we are running hands-on workshops for teachers 
concurrently with the workshops for students in Lod and Tel Aviv.

The workshops are intended for students entering 8th to 12th grades. No 
previous debating experience is necessary.

Among our teachers are prize-winning debate coaches from Great Britain and some 
of the best student debaters in Israel, all of whom have been members of 
Israel's national debating teams. 

On the final day we'll hold a show debate and awards ceremony for parents and 
friends
