🗣 Why student debate matters, Newsweek's editor-in-chief explains NAUDL1
Above, Newsweek Global Editor-in-Chief Nancy Cooper addresses students and NAUDL executives as they celebrate their joint partnership, Mightier. The goal of the partnership is to foster a good-faith exchange of ideas through debate geared toward the next generation., we believe that good-faith debate is in the public interest, and we welcome diverse views and voices to the search for common ground. That's in our mission statement.
I think it's impossible to overstate the importance of healthy debate in our own lives and in the life of the nation. When we citizens can't tolerate the discomfort of disagreement—when we can't speak to or listen to people outside of our own tribes—civil society suffers. Democracy is weakened. What NAUDL does that is so valuable, is give students the chance to develop the skills that are critical in sustaining rigorous, respectful and honest give-and-take about things that matter.
These students have demonstrated their passion for the exchange of ideas. They see—and remind us of—the transformative power of debate, and the crucial role it plays in encouraging those around us to seek common ground. We all have a stake in encouraging the next generation of critical thinkers. It's a great pleasure for us atto introduce these impressive young leaders to our audience around the world. We're inspired by their willingness to prize inquiry over orthodoxy. We think you will be, too.
