Call for Participant for Debate Training

In one week you will get a basic introduction to debate, articulation and
presentation; to Land grabbing and Tax-justice in a human rights based
perspective; and through action-learning methods you will get a chance to
practice debate on these topics. Debate is a method for co-creating new
constructive knowledge and a relevant tool to further ActionAid
International Kenyas campaigns on the topic above.
By the end of this training you will be a stronger debater and able to plan
and conduct workshops and training sessions using Debate as a tool.
What is this training about?
As a speaking and presentation based training that is meant to spur ideas
and how to articulate them, it will lay emphasis to Global Platforms ideals

to debate, develop constructive new knowledge, practical tools and to
have developed the skills and attitude to be capable to plan then execute
