snd DEBATE TRAINING IN AUDIO

During the World Debate Forum held in Botswana in January 2011 many African debate organizers said that they needed basic training materials, but that the poor conditions of local Internet connectivity made it difficult for them to use videos. As a solution, I volunteered to take a good number of our video training files and turn them into audio only, then organize them and make them available for download.
Thanks to the World Debate Institute and Debate Central for making this project possible.
Here are presentations from the World Schools Debate Academy, International Debate Academy, East Debate Institute, the World Debate Institute's world schools session and the Serbia Debate Academy. We have also included two WUDC format debates from the USA and two WSDC format debates from Europe. They all are available as mp3 files. Download them, load them up in any mp3 player, and enjoy.
