What does it mean to be part of our audience? First and foremost, you get to watch and be part of the show. If you’re joining one of our main debates, you’ll have a crucial role as part of the voting panel: You, along with the other members of the virtual audience, will decide which argument you found most convincing.
We’ve had some of the most world renowned people speak at our debates: world-class philosophers, writers, scientists, activists and more. As part of the virtual audience you’ll get the opportunity to ask them your questions.
Finally, we often program guest lectures and discussion groups ahead of our debates. This will help you broaden your knowledge of the subject and get you ready to ask some tough questions to our speakers.
