CFD provides a vehicle for such an approach. These tournaments gave the students and mentors from the Project Live program the opportunity to debate issues like Teen Pregnancy and Peer Pressure. The project focused on 7th and 8th grade debaters and their mentors. After this presentation suggestions for topics are taken from both the students and mentors. Approximately a month after the initial presentation the CFD tournament is held.
Students debate the resolutions are awarded prizes.
Then the students and others in attendance have the opportunity to listen to the mentor's views. If your organization is interested in hosting a CFD please e-mail our Executive Director .
