Four Star Debate - Developing Leaders with General Tommy Franks is to be held at the Kings Academy in Jordan this year, 4-10 July. King Abdullah II is hosting the students along with the NCPA, General Franks Leadership Institute, and Oklahoma Christian University.

Twenty-four students will be selected from the U.S. and twenty-four students from the King's Academy in Jordan to meet and discuss the peace process in the Middle East.

Students will be trained in strategic thinking, planning, communication, teamwork and persuasion and will receive debate training from NCPA's professional policy analysts, debate coaches and will have an opportunity meet with General Tommy Franks and King Abdullah II.

The goal of Four Star Debate is to develop young leaders of character who are well informed about our communities' issues and today's most important public policy issues and the skills to work with people from all walks of life.
