QatarDebate, February 05 – QatarDebate Center, a member of Qatar Foundation, in cooperation with the Qatari Cultural Attache in the United Kingdom, organized the “let’s debate” forum dedicated to Qatari students studying in British universities.
The organization of this forum comes within the framework of the center’s efforts aimed at promoting a culture of dialogue and intellectual empowerment among Qatari youth abroad, providing them with debate and influence skills, and enabling them with higher-order thinking tools, particularly analysis and critical thinking, which contributes to qualifying them to engage effectively in academic activities, championships and international conferences.

In this context, student Sarah Dhiab, the strategic events officer at the Qatari Student Club, stressed the vital importance of this forum in shaping the personalities of scholarship students.
She noted that the event provides a leading intellectual space to establish dialogue as a tool for building awareness away from the logic of victory and to promote the values of mutual understanding and respect for the opinion of others.
She said that the forum sessions highlighted the role of debate as a civilized practice that contributes to preparing a generation capable of managing differences consciously and responsibly, and interacting constructively with contemporary societal issues.
She emphasized that these initiatives enable students to have professional expression tools to be honorable role models for the State of Qatar in international academic forums.

The forum witnessed rich discussions that addressed a range of current global issues in the fields of technology, social media platforms, cybersecurity, and labor rights.
A training tournament was held in which students applied the technical skills and knowledge they had acquired, reflecting an advanced level in the arts of dialogue and advocacy based on sound logic.
