An interactive ‘Tournament Preparation’ workshop was organized by Alumnus Sandra Ramachandran who is studying Global Law at the Tilburg University, Netherlands on the 9th of December, 2021via the web platform zoom. 18 promising debaters along with their coach Ms. Jaya Majumder participated in the workshop actively.
The workshop was divided into two segments. The first segment of the workshop focused on the motion’This House Believes That space exploration programs should be primarily funded by private investments rather than by governments’. The resource person assessed debaters,cases and shared suggestions to further strengthen them. She then focused on characterization and stakeholder analysis. She gave a deep insight into how private companies are more capable and how it’s a mutual benefit for both parties.
In the second segment, she focused on the motion ‘This House Believes That all professional sports teams should be majority fan-owned’. She analyzed and characterized the motion, further showing fan profits and how it might be a suitable alternative to correct the flawed status quo with examples of football clubs in the EU and how they’re very successful despite being owned by fans. The stakeholder analysis on the fans and the private investors was discussed with its impacts right after.
She helped the debaters by answering different queries to get a better clarity on both prepared motions.
‘This kind of interactive session made the bond between the Alumni and the current batch of students’ commented the Principal, Ms. Asna Nafees.
