Los días viernes 8 y 15 de mayo, participamos con las alumnas de 1ero. y 4to. año de Secundaria en el IV Junior & Senior Debate Workshop &Fest, organizado por el Colegio Champagnat.
Se trata de un evento que convoca en cada edición a más participantes y este año nos representaron, bajo la Coordinación de Inglés, las alumnas: Rosario Montes de Oca (1º año), Felicitas Sambucetti (1º año), Clara Reigada (1º año), Felicitas Gahan (4º año), Jacinta Berisso (4º año).
El Debate Fest contó de dos días de encuentros. El viernes 8 se llevó adelante un taller a cargo del equipo de debate del Champagnat, y un debate demostración a cargo de sus debaters de la categoría Junior. El día 15 se desarrolló la ronda de debates. Al tratarse de un Fest, la idea fue mezclarlos a todos para que compartan la actividad con alumnos y alumnas de los 12 colegios participantes.
¡Felicitaciones chicas!
Testimonios:
“This experience was excellent because it was something unusual. I could practice and learn how to talk in public and with fluency. I could also get to know new people and talk to them in English. One thing that I learnt and I think that is very important is that I worked with other people that I had never met before. I would like to have another experience like this.”
Rosario Montes de Oca – 1st year
“The debate was a very interesting experience because we could see what it is like to debate and we could meet new people and people we already knew as well. I could also practise a lot of vocabulary and also how to speak in front of people, which is sometimes frightening, without caring about winning.”
Felicitas Sambucetti – 1st year
“I had a great experience. I could share this with my friends and I got to know lots of new people. The debate helped me to speak better English. Although my team lost, I am proud I was selected.”
Clara Reigada – 1st year
“We really enjoyed this experience. We had never done debate before and now we are very excited about it. At first we were very nervous but we ended up having a great time. We are looking forward to learning how to debate properly and to being able to repeat this experience and we would like to thank Champagnat for the opportunity. We learned that you don’t need to have an amazing accent or know a lot of vocabulary, as long as you express yourself clearly and with conviction.”
Felicitas Gahan and Jacinta Berisso – 4th year
