Skills for debate and running a model UN

(Cymraeg Isod)

Welcome to our exciting event where students and teachers can learn skills for debate in the morning followed by how to successfully run a Model United Nations Conference in the afternoon! Join us at the Temple Of Peace for either or both sessions - Register now to secure your spot!

Using debating skills in the primary classroom

Studies show that learning debating empowers young people in a wide variety of areas. From self-confidence and communication, to written skills and leadership prospects; it is clear that being able to look at both sides of an argument empowers us both inside and outside the classroom.

During this half-day course, which is open to pupils and teachers working at progression step two, we will work together to explore:

· What techniques in arguments are helpful and unhelpful

· How to think critically and thoughtfully about the information you’re looking at

· How to change your mind if the evidence shifts

· Taking on first-hand experience of making rules

· Exploring the dynamics of power on rule making

This course is ideal for LLC leaders, wellbeing groups and student councils but also supports communication and citizenship skills including problem solving, agreeing shared definitions and persuasive techniques. We are inviting teachers and a small group of their students to attend together so that they can implement their learning collaboratively back in their learning settings.

WCIA have a rich experience of student empowerment through the changemakers programme and we ran the Wales Debating competition for more than a decade. We are excited for this opportunity to work with you during this training.

To book your place, simply order a ticket here via Eventbrite. Since we are anticipating a lot of interest, we will be limiting the numbers to 4 young people per school in the first instance. For groups who attend, we will also offer a free follow-up workshops schools/organisations to broaden the impact.

Model United Nations

The welsh national curriculum has an emphasis on asking our learners to be curious, to think critically and to reflect upon evidence presented in a world that is becoming ever more dynamic and diverse. With its rich tradition of the Model United Nations format, WCIA will be hosting a half-day teacher training to empower teachers and a small selection of their students to use the framework to meet the needs in their classroom.

During this half-day course, which is open to pupils and teachers working at progression step two, we will work together.

The training will include:

· Mapping the Model UN against the National Curriculum for Wales

· Step by step planning and practical resource tips

· Practical tips on how to overcome overwhelm on larger global issues

· Exploring options for assessment and learning

This course is aimed at developing understanding of global affairs and communication skills at progression step 2. However, we will also be looking at differentiated experiences for young people between the ages of 11-14. We are inviting teachers to work with us during the session to plan their own model united nations experience. To book your place on this free course, simply book tickets via Eventbrite or contact [email protected] if you have any questions.

Defnyddio sgiliau dadlau yn y dosbarth cynradd

Mae astudiaethau'n dangos bod dysgu dadlau'n rhoi grym i bobl ifanc mewn nifer eang o feysydd. O hyder yn eich hun a chyfathrebu, i sgiliau ysgrifenedig a chyfleoedd arweinyddiaeth; mae'n amlwg bod gallu edrych ar ddwy ochr dadl yn grymuso disgyblion yn y dosbarth a thu hwnt. Yn ystod y cwrs hanner diwrnod hwn, sy'n agored i ddisgyblion a thiwtoriaid sy'n gweithio ar gam gynnydd deu, byddwn yn gweithio gyda'n gilydd i archwilio:

· Pa dechnegau sy'n ddefnyddiol a pha dechnegau sydd ddim yn ddefnyddiol mewn dadleuon

· Sut i feddwl yn feirniadol ac yn feddylgar am y wybodaeth rydych chi'n ei chyflwyno

· Sut i newid eich meddwl os yw'r dystiolaeth yn newid

· Y profiad o greu rheolau

· Archwilio dynamig pŵer ar greu rheolau

Mae'r cwrs hwn yn addas ar gyfer arweinwyr LLC, grwpiau llesiant a chynghorau myfyrwyr, ond hefyd yn cefnogi sgiliau cyfathrebu a dinasyddiaeth gan gynnwys datrys problemau, cytuno ar ddiffiniadau ar y cyd a thechnegau perswadio. Rydym yn gwahodd athrawon a'u myfyrwyr i fynychu gyda'i gilydd fel y gallant roi eu dysgu ar waith gyda'i gilydd yn eu lleoedd dysgu.

Mae gan WCIA brofiad cyfoethog o rymuso myfyrwyr trwy'r rhaglen ‘creu newid’ / Changemakers ,ac rydyn ni wedi rhedeg cystadleuaeth dadleuo Cymru am fwy na degawd. Rydym yn gyffrous am y cyfle hwn i weithio gyda chi yn ystod yr hyfforddiant hwn.

I sicrhau eich lle, archebwch tocyn Eventrbite. Gan ein bod yn disgwyl llawer o ddiddordeb, byddwn yn cyfyngu'r niferoedd i 4 o bobl ifanc o bob ysgol yn yr achos cyntaf.

Cynhadledd Model y Cenhedloedd Unedig

Mae cynllun cenedlaethol Cymru yn rhoi pwyslais ar ofyn i'n dysgwyr fod yn chwilfrydig, meddwl yn feirniadol ac ystyried tystiolaeth a gyflwynir mewn byd sy'n dod yn fwy ac yn fwy dynamig ac amrywiol. Gyda'u traddodiad hir a phrofiad cyfoethog o gynnal Cynadleddau Model Y Cenhedloedd Unedig, bydd WCIA yn cynnal hyfforddiant un diwrnod i roi grym i athrawon i ddefnyddio'r fframwaith i gyflawni'r anghenion yn y dosbarth. Yn ystod y cwrs hanner diwrnod hwn, sydd ar agor i ddisgyblion ac athrawon sy'n gweithio ar gam gynnydd deu, byddwn yn gweithio gyda'n gilydd. Bydd yr hyfforddiant yn cynnwys:

· Mapio'r Model UN yn erbyn y Cwricwlwm

· Cynllunio cam wrth gam a chymorth gydag adnoddau ymarferol

· Cymorth ymarferol ar sut i ddelio gyda materion byd-eang sy'n gallu teimlo'n rhy fawr

· Archwilio opsiynau ar gyfer asesiad a dysgu

Mae'r cwrs hwn yn anelu at ddatblygu dealltwriaeth o faterion byd-eang a sgiliau cyfathrebu ar gam gynnydd 2. Fodd bynnag, byddwn hefyd yn edrych ar brofiadau gwahaniaethol ar gyfer pobl ifanc rhwng 11-14 oed. Rydym yn gwahodd athrawon i weithio gyda ni yn ystod y sesiwn i gynllunio cynnal cynhadledd model y Cenhedloedd Unedig eu hunain I archebu eich lle ar y cwrs am ddim hwn, archebwch docynnau Eventbrite yma neu cysylltwch â [email protected] os oes gennych unrhyw gwestiynau.
