1. Blog: Statesmandebate.com WHAT IS A MODEL CONGRESS? Debates, as we know them, are a healthy way of having the students generate and express opinions about very many different topics about worldly affairs. A popular way to expose your child to debates is by sending him to a model congress. Model congress is a simulation of Congress in session, which features a topic and many other debaters from various parts of a state. Usually, a session of model congress is hosted or organized by reputed institutions like Yale, Princeton, or sometimes even by the Congress itself. The prestige of such events is the only thing that remains undebated during the entire event. Such debate camps feature topics like educational reforms, preservation of the planet, women empowerment, poverty, globalization, etc. Model Congress sessions, through revealing highly researched speeches in favour of and against the topics chosen, help the students to understand various aspects of the same issue. In this light, whichever party the student speaks for, his awareness expands that much more through absorbing everyone’s research. The cogwheels of a student’s thought do not cease to churn even after the debate camp has ended. Exhaustive sessions of Model Congress leave the students wondering about the new found knowledge, raising their curiosity to discover more. Thus begins the process of self-education, which helps shape the personality of your child in a very beneficial way. A much similar debate camp is organized these days, in the form of Model United Nations, which makes the students debate on the topics that the UN is more concerned about. Such events are also organized by reputed organizations. Have your child participate in a debate camp today!
