Our Education Discourse team prioritizes two main values: accessibility and diversity. Diversity manifests through hosting tournaments or organize trips to unaffiliated competitions wherein students are provided the opportunity to attend fully funded tournaments once every 2 months hosted by other institutions or groups, including debate, model UN, and mock trial.
In addition, we also occasionally host our own tournaments for students to develop their public speaking skills.
A few years ago, CT Speech & Action brought students from all over CT to participate in a tournament based in NY. The results were outstanding with all top three speakers from our participants!
The Social Advocacy Branch connects the ideas discussed within Educational Discourse tournaments to social action. This branch addresses social issues, advocates for pathetic change, and engages in community-oriented initiatives through semester based projects. These social action semesters would include events, speakers, or publications.
Take a look at past events and projects hosted by CTSA!
