Debate: Fostering Critical Thinking through Youth Engagement

Debate is a youth platform established at UPF Barcelona with the aim of promoting critical thinking through colloquiums, round tables, and electoral debates. The platform provides a space for young people to engage in meaningful discussions on various topics that affect their lives and the world around them.

At Debate, we believe that critical thinking is an essential skill for young people to develop as they navigate their way through life. It enables them to analyze information critically, make informed decisions, and communicate effectively with others. Our platform offers a unique opportunity for young people to hone these skills by engaging in lively debates on current issues.

Our team comprises experienced professionals who are passionate about youth engagement and critical thinking. We work tirelessly to create an environment where young people can express themselves freely without fear of judgment or discrimination. Our moderators ensure that all participants adhere to our code of conduct, which promotes respect and tolerance towards different opinions.

We organize regular events throughout the year that cover a wide range of topics such as politics, social justice, environmental issues, technology trends among others. These events are open to all interested parties regardless of their background or affiliation.

One of our flagship programs is the electoral debate series where we invite candidates from different political parties running for office in local or national elections. This program provides an opportunity for voters especially first-time voters who may not have had much exposure to politics before can learn more about each candidate's policies and vision for the future.

In addition to our events program, we also offer training sessions on public speaking skills and debate techniques aimed at helping participants improve their communication skills while building confidence in expressing themselves publicly.

At Debate we understand how important it is for young people today not only be informed but also actively engaged in shaping society's future direction. That's why we're committed to providing opportunities that foster critical thinking while empowering youth voices across diverse communities.

In conclusion, Debate is a unique platform that provides young people with an opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions on various topics while fostering critical thinking skills. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive environment where all participants can express themselves freely. We invite you to join us in our mission of empowering youth voices and shaping society's future direction.
