The Battle of Ideas: Don’t miss it

worldwrite
This appetiser reminds us their is no feast for the mind like the Battle of Ideas festival. Challenging new ideas blend with historical insights at this ‘free speech allowed’ weekend. This is a must for anyone interested in cutting edge thinking. With 75 debates and 350 speakers, a huge range of contemporary issues are covered. Mixed with snippets of debate, this programme features vox pops filmed by WORLDbytes volunteers at last year’s Battle of Ideas festival and their excitement is infectious. As one attendee tells us: “it covers issues most politicians won’t touch.” The full programme of debates and tickets for this year’s event on Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th October 2011 are available now; just visit the Battle of Ideas website.

    • Cannot wait to attend this! Sounds like an amazing forum for learning about ideas on all sides of the issues that are pertinent to people today. The opportunity to hear many different views on each of these issues excites me. I may not always agree with everything said, but the fact that I will be challenged to think about why I believe what I believe is thrilling.
