WDI be in Cameroon July 15-22 to offer the Cameroon Debate Academy in cooperation with the Catholic University of Cameroon at Bamenda. Over 100 university students will engage in intensive WUDC debate training followed by a tournament. Thanks to Dr. Emmanuel Tange for his hard work in coordinating this event. WDI director Alfred Snider will be joined by Cornell University debate coaches Paul Gross (recently named a WDI Fellow) and Joe Damiba, and the Director of Cameroon Debate Association Marius Binyou Bi Homb. This event follows up on a very successful preparatory training the university previously did for over 80 students.
Here is the schedule of the event. Like most debate academies, the program is a combination of short lectures, small group exercises, practice debates with critiques and elective offerings followed by a tournament.
