OUR DEBATING SOCIETY
WHY THIS BEAUTIFUL PROJECT ?
Expressions de France aims to give a voice to every citizen, regardless of his/her age, origins, social class, or opinions.
During masterclass in schools, we met a lot of young people, and trained them to eloquence in an apolitical and open space.
The interactions with students are diversified, instructive, and let everyone gaining self-confidence, and learning to express themselves.
It is because of this goal that the organization creates its own debating society. Open to everybody, our meetups aim to bring together individuals of every age to share and debate about daily questions, and public opinion.
WHO ARE OUR TARGETS ?
The debating society aims citizens who are curious to meet others and share on concrete questions relating to our favorite themas : civil engagement, principles of our Republic, and so on.
- Middle-school students, from eighth grade
- High-school students, from freshman to senior
