Get to the point

Are you often frustrated in lectures and discussions, because you find it difficult to speak up, or because you speak in an unstructured way without a clear focus?

In this workshop, you will learn how to structure your arguments and to place them in a purposeful way. Through practice tasks in speaking your thoughts, you will gain an understanding of using speech to think with a clear goal in mind. This principle can be applied in spontaneous contributions during lectures and discussions. Finally, this even allows for giving an impromptu speech. Discover the means you can use to let others listen to you until the end of your speech!

On the first day, we will look at structures of argumentation and practice speaking in front of others in small groups and alone. At the end of the second day, you can use what you learned to participate in a practice debate.
The training is oriented towards practical applicability and will be enhanced by short practice sequences on voice and presence.
