IDEA -- BFSU Four-Team (Worlds Style) Workshop
November 7 - 9, 2008
IDEA and BFSU cooperated to host a workshop with divisions both in English and Mandarin. Approximately 130 people attended the English workshop and 36 attended the Mandarin workshop. We were quite excited by the enthusiasm of the Mandarin debaters especially since this was our first serious attempt to teach western-style debate in the language of China. Below you will find the names and email addresses of all the trainers, a report on the workshop written by Yang Ge, a bi-lingual copy of the curriculum, and copies of all the presentatons from the workshop
