Local Debating Competition

At the April monthly meeting on 8th April members and guests have cheered for the two teams in the JCI Dublin debating competition.

In preparation for the national debating competition on the 11th April, we have practiced our debating skills at local level.
Each of the two teams had three members, the captain and two speakers. Some of the members where more experienced in debating, others were participating in debating for the first time. However it was a great experience and an opportunity to learn for both participants and audience.
To facilitate the process, the motion was given in advance of the day. The motion was
That job sharing should be introduced for all, to curb unemployment.
Rahel, Judit and Dorin were proposing the motion and Julien, Louise and Aga were the opposing team.
Teams where full of energy, used humour and persuaded their goal. One of the team did stand out and persuaded the jury composed of Laura Borlea JCI Dublin President, Anthony Moran, experienced member in JCI and Mark Kelly JCI National President.
Julien, Aga and Louise won the debating on the night and went to represent JCI Dublin at the national competition.
The competition was followed by a short ceremony, drinks and food in Howl at the moon.
The debating raised a lot of interest among JCI Dublin members and it has been suggested to have regular training sessions in public speaking and debating.
All interested in debating should get in contact to Judit at the next meeting on the 13th May.
