DebateAtivo turns neighborhood disputes into debate practice

Field notes

The training is organized around repeated, bounded speaking turns rather than long-form public speaking: three minutes to open, two minutes to reply, and a required restatement of the opposing argument before rebuttal. Participants receive printed argument-structure sheets and audio recordings of their own interventions. The site lists three paid paths, including a six-week introductory course at R$ 540 and an eleven-session organizational program designed around meeting decisions.
