The FORUM format is about linking:debate across disciplines among invited speakers, facilitated by a moderator, plus a moderated Q&A/open discussion with the audience afterwards. The debaters are chosen based on their unique expertise that serves the discussion of the proposed topic and specific set of questions for that session. The debaters come from different domains or disciplines promoting invigorating and fruitful discussion to maximise the insight from multiple perspectives on the issues being discussed.
FORUM is an OPEN PLATFORM
Beyond our initial debating sessions we invite people to propose debate topics, speakers and moderators. FORUM as an organisation seeks to support the coordination of debate events leveraging our specialist FORUM:CONNECT and participation network. To make a suggestion for a debate session, SUBMIT HERE.
