How a Dialogue works
About 90 minutes. Five moves.
Dialogues follow the Oxford-style debate format, run with our debating partner, the Delhi Union. A motion is proposed, opposed, argued and put to the vote.
- The room votesFor, against or undecided on the motion, before anyone speaks.
- Each side makes its caseTwo or three speakers for the motion, two or three against.
- Back-and-forthA moderator presses both sides on the strongest points.
- Your questionsFrom the floor and from the question box online.
- The room votes againWe announce the shift, not a winner.
