Braver Angels Debates
A Collaborative Search for Truth
If you haven’t seen one of our debates, get ready to experience an exciting way to dig into controversial issues!
Our special parliamentary format encourages everyone to speak or ask questions, ensures civility in disagreement, and strives for learning and better understanding for all. The online version works in much the same way, modified to foster constructive debate coast to coast.Â
In all our debates, we use resolutions that might be controversial to encourage speeches from both sides. Unlike some of our workshops, these are not associated with Red and Blue, but Pro and Con. Online Debates take place via Zoom conference call, moderated by a trained Debate Chair.
