Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange

Debate Exchange Activity: Three New Cycles beginning in September and October 2020 

The Debate Exchange Activity brings together young people between 18 and 30 years of age and from diverse cultural backgrounds to meet online and debate current topics, issues, and challenges of their choice, such as education, democratic rights, Covid-19, power dynamics, migration, and climate change.                 In the Debate Team Leader Training participants become acquainted with a parliamentary model of public debate to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills for debating. They also get introduced to their role as Debate Team Leader.
The training is later followed by the Online Debates and a Post-Debate Dialogue Session.

The objective of this activity is to enhance young people's dialogue and debate skills, such as active listening and rebuttal, finding and formulating arguments, planning and structuring of speeches, and using a specific format for debating.
