As we gear up for the upcoming JAA Debate Competitions, we are thrilled to announce the successful completion of our final judge training session in April 2024. This session served as the culmination of our efforts to ensure the competitions are conducted with fairness, expertise, and integrity.
The training session, held on April 12-13, 2024, brought together all experienced JAA alumni judges. This dynamic group underwent intensive training to enhance their skills in evaluating debates effectively and impartially for the British Parliament debate format.
Throughout the two-day session, judges delved into advanced debate formats, refined their understanding of evaluation criteria, and practiced providing constructive feedback. Emphasis was placed on critical thinking, nuanced argument analysis, and fostering a supportive environment for debaters to thrive.
By investing in the reskilling of our judges, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of excellence in our debate competitions. Their expertise and dedication play a vital role in shaping the educational experience for participating students and promoting the values of critical thinking and public speaking.
With the judges ready to go and the teams well prepared we are looking forward to thrilling Debate Competition for High Schools and University Level students!
Together, let's continue to inspire excellence and empower our students through the art of debate!
