Braver Angels Debate UNC-Greensboro
October 24, 2023 @ 6:45 pm – 8:45 pm
Should the U.S. government implement more restrictive gun laws to reduce violence?
UNC Greensboro students, faculty, and staff are invited to join a respectful conversation touching all sides of a challenging issue. Braver Angels debates are not competitive, but a provide a deep experience of civil discourse. Conducted in a light parliamentary style, they teach students to engage with each other respectfully around difficult, polarizing issues. Students think together, listen carefully, and allow themselves to be touched and even changed by each other’s ideas. Participants emerge with greater empathy and appreciation for diversity of thought.
Sponsored by the Barnes Family Foundation, this collegiate debate is free and brought to you with the support of a partnership of Braver Angels, BridgeUSA, and the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA), non-profit organizations that believe in the power of free expression and respectful exchange of ideas on America’s college campuses.
Heavy hors d’oeuvres and refreshments served promptly at 6:45. Debate starts at 7 PM.
