Debate seminar - European framework directive water 2027

SAVE THE DATE: Three days training – Trilogy ‘Effective in Dialogue’ A collaboration between alumni associations NZV and NLW and study associations “De Veetelers”, Heeren XVII and Semper Florens.   You might have the knowledge, yet you are unable to succeed in changing someone’s mind. How can you add credibility and persuasiveness to your knowledge? Do you want to respond more vigorous? Then this training is recommended! Meet the others as well and train your listening and persuading skills.   The art of debating is to listen carefully to one another and to speak convincingly. With polarisation of opinions, listening is often hard. By first focussing on the techniques of debating, the participant will open their ears and hopefully provide more than just counterarguments. The solution lays in the dialogue.   The training consists of three evenings, but it is also possible to register for one or two days. Each evening there is room for 50 participants.   Purpose   Learning how to debate tactfully. The purpose of a trilogy is to repeat. The tutorials are where the skills will accumulate. One session is fun, multiple are much more effective. Practically apply the obtained skills to open a dialogue. To obtain knowledge on current agrarian subjects. Interaction between students and alumni in the agrarian sector. Yearly repeating on its own.   Target group Alumni and study associations (students) will debate about a substantive subject. Prior to the session, a short introduction about ‘How to debate’ will be given.   Language: English Dates: Wednesday 10 April, Monday 13 May and Monday 10 June 2024 Location: Omnia – Congress centre at Wageningen Campus Debate leader: Gijs Weenink   Subjects If you look at the discussions last year about the agricultural sectors, three themes always appear prominently. It’s about nitrogen, it’s about the water-quality and the earning capacity of farmers. In our ‘Trilogy: effective in dialogue’ we tackle these three themes and discuss them with each other.   Wednesday 10 april – Nitrogen: from crisis to opportunity Nitrogen, opportunities on the horizon with a targeted approach (‘not everything is possible everywhere’ and ‘what is possible’) Monday 13 may – European framework directive water 2027 Water quality has improved last year, and yet we are not there yet (the European water framework Directive 2027) Monday 10 june – Business model/agrarian model How does food production remain the basis for the main agricultural income (rural economy)   Programme 16.45 h Walk-in participants 17.00 h Tutorial ‘Effective in Dialogue’ by Gijs Weenink 18.00 h Walking dinner // Networking 19.00 h Pitches by 2 columnists and 1 politician (3 x 6 minutes) 19.20 h Lagerhuis Debate led by Gijs Weenink 20.50 h Closure in the form of reflection by policy maker/politician 21.00 h Informal chat   Costs Alumni 25 euros Students 5 euros   Sign Up Please put these dates in your agenda.
