Climate change, uncontrollable fires, floods, global warming, COVID19, Trumpism. Are we on the ‘eve of destruction’? Come and be part of the audience as two outstanding local teams propose different answers to the question.
Following the formal rules of debate, each speaker will have seven minutes to convince you. At the end of the debate, the audience will be asked to decide which team has won.
This is not a Q & A session, and this is not a panel of experts. The role of the audience is to listen carefully to all the speakers and then to determine the winning team by casting a vote.
