What is a Better Angels Debate?  (better-angels.org)

You probably haven’t experienced anything like it! It’s a highly structured conversation in which a group of people think together, listen to one another, and are open to being touched and perhaps changed by each other’s ideas.

The Process: We’ll use modified parliamentary procedures, which help to create an atmosphere of decorum and respect. We ask and expect participants to behave respectfully toward one another, whether they’re speakers, or have a question for the speaker, or are simply there to listen.

The debate is broken up into three roughly equal segments: first, 4-minute speeches; then, 3-minute speeches; finally, 2-minute speeches. You can always ask questions and/or give a speech yourself. It’s a great way to learn about others’ point of view and to speak your mind.

Bring your best arguments and see you at the debate! With any further questions please email to kalvi99@gmail.com
