Students and faculty at Saint Anselm College are invited to join a respectful conversation touching all sides of a challenging issue -- specially selected by Saint Anselm students themselves.

Is Climate Change an Individual Responsibility or Government Action?

Debate Topic: Is Climate Change an Individual Responsibility or Government Action?

Braver Angels debates are not competitive, but a collective exercise in civil discourse. Conducted in a light parliamentary format, they teach students to engage respectfully around difficult and divisive issues. Students think together, listen carefully to one another, and allow themselves to be touched and even changed by each other’s ideas. Participants walk out with greater empathy, courage to express their own views, and appreciation for diversity of thought.

Sponsored by the New Hampshire Institute of Politics and the National Governors Association, 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.

Registration Details:

Registration for this debate will be closed just prior to the scheduled starting time of 4:30 PM on Tuesday, September 12.

Pizza will be provided!
