COLLABORATIVE DEBATING

Imagine an Affirmative team being met with a Cooperative team, a Mindful Coordinator chairing the debate, and a Mentor who doesn',t judge, score or rate, yet instead meters out a series of Guidances.

A debate where the skills that young people are learning are not simply for the sake of learning &ndash, they are life skills._,
