In this debate, we'll focus on practicing Points of Information (POIs) that challenge the arguments presented, not the debater's personal choices or the specific theories, opinions, or facts he, she or they use to support their arguments.
All levels of debate experience are welcome!
Join us for a British Parliamentary-style debate featuring students from other universities and community members.
The debate will focus on the motion:
"This House would fund Universal Basic Income with postcolonial reparations."
In this debate, we will emphasize the practice of raising Points of Information (POIs) that challenge the arguments presented, rather than focusing on the debater's personal choices or the specific theories, opinions, facts, or personal logic they use to defend their arguments.
A POI is meant to provide information to refute the argument, not to question the rationale of the debater.
Our goal is to create an environment where the strength of the argument is tested, not the individual making it.
Let's engage in a respectful and thought-provoking formal debate!
