The first purpose of the round tables is to enable everyone, whether they are French or Chinese (or from any other
country) to discuss freely about topics regarding cultural issues. We all know how much
French and Chinese medias talk about conflictual situation and debates. However, those debates are often
banned from casual discussion between French and Chinese students. Why ? Because people feel unease to
bring this kind of topics into the conversation. Still, we think debates are necessary to
understand others' points of view.
These round tables are also the opportunity to chat with foreign students mixing casual talk
and debates.
To help the debate to go smoothly, we need you to be feel relaxed and comfortable. That's why we prepare for each round table a dynamic and enjoyable programme in a nice environment.
A classic round table starts with a short introduction to the topic with some relevant facts and clues which
will be reliable weapons for the debate.
Then the stage will be all yours! Express yourself, show up your arguments and defend your opinion
during a lively debate. The organization team will be there to give materials for the debate to keep the fire
on and to bring new lights on the topic.
After this tiring exchange, a cocktail is offered to whoever would like to stay a little longer and
enjoy the end of the round table with fun and good mood.
