The program will take place just before Chennai Worlds, which is very close to Dhaka. The program is designed to provide an excellent but fairly inexpensive training opportunity to those going to WUDC Chennai as well as provide an opportunity for the burgeoning debate community in South Asia.

The model for instruction would be much like other debate academies, with lectures, exercises, electives and many practice debates all emphasizing active learning. The program will utilize the WUDC format in English.

The hosts would provide you with food, housing and local transportation. Many faculty members will be provided with round-trip airfare from Chennai to Dhaka. Book your arrival in Chennai earlier and come to this program. Arrival should be complete before the evening of 15 December. Departure will be on 25 December.

Please let me know as soon as you can if you are available. Please include a short paragraph debate bio for promotional purposes if you are interested. Please get back to me if you are not interested in attending so that I know that this message was received. Please indicate dates of travel and where you will be traveling from (airport code), I will then work with Sharif Uddin Ahmed Rana, the program director and our host, who will confirm the offer and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
