Crossing borders through digital media and dialogue

AUN and AUCA students have been participating in online discussions of mutually selected topics to promote discourse between communities of learners and foster partnerships based on acceptance and understanding. This forum provides opportunities for the students to develop research, thinking and speaking skills which show unity in thought, coherence in ideas, objectivity in reasoning, factual argumentation and empathy for the other. The long-term goal is the creation of a Virtual International Debate Society (VIDS) modelled on the Karl Popper Debate to provide an academic and social bridge for participating students.
