Conseils

  • Ensure the environment is safe for spirited debate by setting clear boundaries against personal attacks.

  • Encourage participants to focus on the strength of their arguments rather than personal beliefs.

  • This method benefits from a lively atmosphere, so encourage participants to be expressive.

Variantes

Consider having more than two participants in a round-robin format for broader perspectives. Alternatively, allow spectators to participate by asking questions after the debate, prompting deeper exploration of the topic.
