Collaborative Debating

Imagine an Affirmative team being met with a Cooperative team; a Mindful Coordinator chairing the debate; and a Mentor who doesnt judge score or rate yet instead meters out a series of Guidances. Now you have a Collaborative Debate - a debate that may actually get us somewhere beyond the argument towards the solutions that we are seeking. A debate where the skills that young people are learning are not simply for the sake of learning - they are life skills.
