Debate Club Giorgi Revazashvili
Programme Director is Professor Madonna Megrelishvili, who spares no time and efforts to create excellent conditions of work. The programme also has an administrator and three volunteer assistants who are responsible for the terms described in their contracts. And of course, students majoring in different fields at KSU, KSSTI and KSTU. The programme is implemented in cooperation with the KSU English Studies Department. Peace Corps provided the programme with the equipment and free internet (during the time of programme implementation). What do the club members think about the programme?
The team of the debaters and the audience were very active and the conference proved to be very active. The day spent with non-parent children in Brotseula School Boarding House will remain unforgettable for all the members of the Debate Club. They played games with the children lest a football match, took photos. The children paint so well that we got the idea to organize an exhibition of their paintings. The children were also well informed about the current situation and had their ideas on ongoing USA – Iraq conflict which they discussed with the debaters. The club has decided to organise a summer Student Camp for our little friends in Brotseula. We are planning trainings, tournaments and Debaters on National Development Programmes as well as lessons in dancing, fishing on the lake and discos in the evenings. These activities will help students to carry out micro projects. The activities and work of resource-centre are highlighted in the centre wall paper. E-newsletter and web site are being prepared. The skills I gained in the Club are the following:
And finally, Debate Club means the best way of communication for me, I have many friends and we are a good team. Since the start of the Debate Education Programme the club has had a variety of activities.
The ideas gained from the debaters tournament and two months’ working on a lot of workhop materials helped the debates to arrange a conference “World War III”. This conference was held on the 24th of May in the Green Hall of KSU. It reflected to the participants vision of war-related problems and their solution.
