Educazione al dialogo - parte II: Il dibattito fra argomentazione, contraddittorio e agonismo dialettico. Una proposta a partire dalle esperienze trentine di WordGames e WortBewerb

This paper is the second part of two separate, yet connected works: its core-theme is the proposal of debate competitions as a tool for Education to Dialogue in secondary schools. This part focuses on the conceptual premises that have been developed to sustain, in the Province of Trento, the training path especially designed for two debate tournaments – WordGames (in English) and WortBewerb (in German) – in which the typical features of argumentation debates are matched with the challenge of performing these competitions in a foreign language. The writing further elaborates a few considerations about the main underlying premises and characteristics of a training path that has been specifically designed for these projects, with the aim of combining logic, rhetoric and language competences.
