Programme


Workshops | Tuesday 26 to Thursday 28

1 | Introducing the arena, dividing the roles, and speaking in public

The teacher in charge of the seminar will present the framework for the debate as well as the list of actors and resources, then divide the roles among ten groups of students. Several exercises will be offered to help you feel comfortable speaking in public and presenting arguments.

Between the first and second workshops, you should read the resources related to your role and make a list of potential questions.

2 | Workshop on your actor’s arguments, role guidelines and embodiment

During this workshop, you will work in groups and discuss with the seminar teacher the position of the actor you will be representing, then you will begin to draw up a list and explain a series of arguments. This workshop is designed to help you embody your role both in substance (objectives and strategies during the simulation, interactions with other actors) and in form.
