Would you like to think together about public, social, economic and other topics? Do you like to have a say in what affects you? Would you like to share your opinion? Would you listen to others? Then come to kecsup.hu's second debate theater evening, where we will clash arguments and counter-arguments on topics of current, public interest, that have not been discussed!
What is debate theater?
The discussion theater is an interactive theater board game. Its aim is to create an opportunity for the participants to discuss the most serious social issues with each other and with the invited experts in a cultured and moderated manner.
How is it going, what are you preparing for?
So, you will see a short theater scene based on the given themes. The participants can discuss the important social issues raised by the theater scenes (e.g. human rights, migration, addiction, otherness, sexuality, education, etc.) in the framework of a debate provoked by the moderator(s) - mostly with questions to be decided. In other words, we will make one statement to be decided in relation to the topics (you can read them below), and you should start by deciding whether it is yes or you take a position on the no side. After that, the debate led by the moderator starts, where everyone (with voluntary application) can express their point of view, argue and try to convince the "other camp". You can change your position at any time during the debate and join the opposing team.
Watch the video of our first debate theater evening!
Let's see what the current topics will be!
School fight
In the Lánchíd utca Elementary School in Kecskemét, the case that also made national press was that two upper-class female students first verbally and then physically insulted a third. What can be the solution to such situations?
Statement: Preventing school violence is the responsibility of the educational institution.
Kecskemét is developing rapidly
Between 2014 and 2021, Kecskemét developed the third fastest among the county seats in Hungary, according to the Settlement Index study of the Equilibrium Institute. Do the locals think so too?
Statement: The development of the city can be felt at the population level.
Foreign workers in Kecskemét
The employment of workers from third countries – Philippines, India, Vietnam, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan – in Hungary has been a central topic for a long time and will continue to be for a long time. How many workers from Asia are there in the city, why do companies employ them, and how true is the often-voiced claim that they work cheaper and thus take away the job opportunities of the people living here?
Claim: The Hungarian economy needs Asian guest workers.
We look forward to seeing you all on March 22, at Bistro Mokambo in Kecskemét (6000 Kecskemét, Bocskai utca 5.) Entry is free, opinions are free, discussion is mandatory!
