http://cas.bethel.edu/dept/comm/npda/sexual-harassment.html

Extractions: Your location: NPDA Home Member Info and Forms Search NPDA Website: A. Introduction Preamble : The National Parliamentary Debate Association maintains that parliamentary debate should be a contest of knowledge, wit and argumentation conducted in a setting of civility and mutual respect. The organization maintains that all eligible members should have access to debate activities without regard to race, creed, age, sex, national origin, sexual or affectional preference, or non-disqualifying handicap. These principles should guide the behavior and conduct of all members and participants of the organization. While the policy at hand is directed at sexual harassment particularly, the principles herein shall be considered a model for dealing with all forms of harassment. The National Parliamentary Debate Association designed this policy in an attempt to eliminate specific behaviors and situations which may arise while participating in the activity and to provide a forum for resolution of conflicts. The organization does not assume that this policy or any other will eliminate all discomfort or intimidation that arises when ideas are in conflict or positions taken are uncomfortable to one or more participants nor does the organization assume the responsibility of dictating good taste or social posture. The National Parliamentary Debate Association assumes these to be part of the learning and educational process and encourages the open discussion of these concerns as a means to educate.

Extractions: Home Glossary Lin ks ... Printable Version Public Forum Debates Format Objectives To mirror public assembly argumentation. To generate a low stress, comfortable space to begin public speaking. To explore the impact that unstructured deliberation practices have on participation. Public forum debates attempt to reflect town hall assembly style deliberation practices. Participation is entirely voluntary (though everyone could be required to speak at least once), and the times for speeches are fairly open-ended (but could be limited to between one and three minutes). After establishing the topic for use, the moderator (which could be the instructor or a student) solicits a pro and con speech to lay out the primary tension. After the initial speeches, the moderator calls on assembly members to speak, trying to alternate between speeches to ensure balance. Brief question and answer sessions can follow each speaker if desired. The debate can be concluded by voting, consensus making, or majority/minority reports. Advantages Less preparation.

Extractions: var story_id = 748816; Home News By Jamie Loo Published: Monday, October 11, 2004 ST. LOUIS - Rush hour traffic in St. Louis, Mo., crawled down Skinker Boulevard on Friday. The congested street was one of the only main roads open around Washington University, where the second presidential debate took place. Even Washington students were trapped on their own campus, with orange plastic fences restricting their every move near the debate site. Faculty, students and staff were asked for their university identification at checkpoints around the perimeter - and, even after getting through, they still faced random checks from guards and police officers who were patrolling the campus. The only people not affiliated with the debates of the university who were allowed on campus were members of the media. On the field outside of Graham Chapel, MSNBC set up a makeshift studio during the afternoon before the debate. Chris Matthews from Hardball sits on the stage preparing to go on the air as students behind him wait for the signal. A producer dressed in black rushes around the stage talking into a headset.

Debate is an effective way to foster critical thinking skills in students while at the same time giving them vital opportunities to speak creatively in English. Unfortunately, there is often a tendency by educators to avoid issues of a controversial nature when planning debate projects, opting instead for safe and easily digested topics such as "Using Cell Phones in Schools" or "Reinstating Saturday Classes." While such topics technically allow for creative discussion, how much more meaningful would it be for students to debate

The main objective of the Center is to promote an open society by giving support to activities nursing a free exchange of ideas, tolerance, critical thinking and cooperation. The Debate Center has two main branches: The secondary school program (debating according to Karl Popper's format) and the University program (debating according to the parliamentary model) Both branches are organized in Debate Clubs and are located respectively at the Secondary Schools and the Universities.

Extractions: (September 2001 to December 2004) IPD aims to foster increased democratic participation in political processes, both election and post-election governance processes, and increased participation in public debate on development issues through membership organizations. The project is based on Pacts in initial work in Zambia focusing on building the institutional skills of Zambian NGOs to improve their representation of Zambian grassroots communities concerns and their access to decision-makers and participation in the public policy decision-making process. Some of the key accomplishments in that initial endeavor laid the ground for the IPD project to support activities that promote public debate, with the longer-term objective of increased pluralistic dialogue and citizen influence on public policy in Zambia. Pact's approach Pacts approach combines a sub-grant mechanism with capacity building and timely technical assistance to support the activities of local organizations in promoting public debate in Zambia. Organizations targeted for assistance include the media, membership organizations (unions and church-based NGOs), professional associations, and possibly government departments. Skills enhancement will focus on subgrantee capacity to conduct policy research, poll their members, analyze policy issues of concern to their constituencies, develop positions, lead or conduct media campaigns, conduct sensitive public debates, and organize and run seminars.
