Unlike traditional debate formats, Transatlantic Dialogues challenges students to craft their own policy positions. They are evaluated not only on argumentation, but also on scholarship, collaboration, and real-world impact. [PHC students have consistently excelled in this format](https://www.phc.edu/news/phc-wins-transatlantic-dialogues), reflecting the College’s commitment to academic rigor and classical education.  #### [Civic Debate at PHC](https://www.phc.edu/civic-debate) Civic Debate teaches students to engage political and cultural issues with civility and clarity. Drawing on their classical training, students learn to analyze competing worldviews, articulate persuasive arguments, and communicate effectively. [![Civic Debate](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/1718959/9fd442ad-5eed-49cf-ad4d-8ce04ded5489.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/1718959/9fd442ad-5eed-49cf-ad4d-8ce04ded5489) PHC students have debated or made presentations before panels of distinguished experts, including ambassadors at the European Union, officials at the French Embassy in Washington, D.C., and civil rights leaders at Morehouse College in Atlanta.  PHC students are frequently recognized for their thorough preparation, outstanding presentation skills, and their winsome speaking style. Civic Debate gives them opportunities to develop their professional and leadership skills as ambassadors for Christ.
