To get our vote, today’s politicians give speeches almost every day. How can we judge the truth of what they say? The principles of rhetoric, the art of persuasion, give us the tools to analyze these speeches, to find the truth. This workshop is designed to make you a more critical listener and a more effective speaker. Open to all experience levels and teens (13+) are welcome alongside adults.
