BETA-DEBATES

BETA-DEBATES, organised by BETA Spain, is the space where young Europeans analyse and give their opinion about the most recent European events

The overall objective, apart from the traditional debate, is to progressively build up an overall perspective - by collaboratively contributing previously unknown data and creating new arguments and perspectives on new issues that have just appeared on the geopolitical landscape.

The activity currently takes place online and in English. It consists of a two-hour debate in which a moderator progressively introduces three major topical issues that have a significant impact on the present and future of the European Union. All participants in each section have an initial two minutes to introduce their position, after which they enter into a free debate mode, which flexibly turns into a brainstorming or round table discussion.

Apart from introducing the topics, monitoring the interventions and counting the time allocated to and used by each participant, the moderator adds ideas, notes or tentatively objective clarifications that encourage discussion and the diversity of points of view taken into account.
