Redenaarskompetisie tydens HGSA konferensie:
R5000 in prysgeld vir die topsprekers
Die organiseerders van die HGSA 2016-konferensie kondig met trots aan dat ‘n redenaarskompetisie vir beide voor- en nagraadse studente tydens die konferensie in Vanderbijlpark aangebied sal word.
Die tema van die debat is:
Die tydgenootlike diskoers oor die Suid-Afrikaanse universiteit sektor is goed, maar verdien meer historiese besinning vir die samelewing om huidige knelpunte te verstaan
Die tema dek ‘n breë spektrum van velde en daar word van sprekers verwag om ‘n selektief te werk te gaan in die velde waarop hulle wil fokus.
Daar sal ‘n voor-konferensie sessie op 21 Junie (09:00-16:00) by Noordwes-Universiteit se Vaaldriehoekkampus plaasvind waartydens finaliste aangewys sal word om in die finale ronde van die kompetisie tydens ‘n sessie van die HGSA-konferensie op 23 Junie die woord te voer.
Die inskrywings word beperk tot die eerste 25 deelnemers wat registreer vir deelname aan die kompetisie. Inskrywing is gratis. ‘n Handleiding vir die kompetisie vergesel hierdie kennisgewing.
Drie nasionaal gekwalifiseerde beoordelaars en hul assistente sal verantwoordelik wees vir die kompetisie. Die hoofborg van die geleentheid is die Vanderbijlkparkse tak van die nasionale redenaarskompetisie van die ATKV.
Sprekers mag in enige van die amptelike tale van Suid-Afrika die woord voer. Daar word egter aanbeveel dat sprekers wat tale, anders as Afrikaans of Engels, wil gebruik, die dienste verkry van simultane vertolkers wat vertroud sal wees met hul taal en ook daartoe in staat sal wees om die gegewens aan die gehoor te vertolk. Oorfone sal tydens die verrigtinge vir die gehoor beskikbaar wees.
