Welcome to Korallen Debates!!

You already know what Korallen is and what to debate is, even if Korallen is not what it should be and even when we are not usually able to debate peacefully... Before explaining better what Korallen Debates is, we will tell you something more important: reasons to join Korallen Debates. We want you to write the reasons you would add!

- To meet international students and do something new in that decadent place
- To politize the ambience and our lives a little or, who knows, to depolitize them even more if you wanna argue about it and you success convincing the others that politics is shit
- To learn to debate debating. After some days ending up in pitched battles, maybe we will learn that it is not the way
- To drink, smoke and talk as always, but not alone
- To put on the table the question of Korallen legal haven on tobacco laws: Do you hate smoke in Korallen common spaces? Have your say and restore the original meaning of "free-smoking area" which has been turned over to "free to smoke wherever I want". You can try to democratically remove smoking from this meeting places.
- To train and improve your english: writing in the blog, and speaking and listening in the meetings at Korallen. This is just one more chance to bleed those who speak English well, learning from them for free and with no effort while they waste their time and harm their ears trying to understand us.
- To spread your word and show the others you are right, or maybe, to discover new truths and to be ideologized in the other's sectarian thinkings.

Korallen Debates is just the idea of meeting and discussing in one of the common spaces of Korallen dormitory. At first it has been thought as a place for political debate around our ideas, about articles we want to comment, about a discussion you started with a friend and you want to put in common... but the space is opened to any kind of topics. The question is to feel free to give your opinion, and to think that whatever you could say can be interesting for the other and can lead to interesting conversations. Korallen Debates would be, firstly, a periodical meeting in Korallen where anybody interested will bring his/her ideas to start debating. On the other hand, Korallen Debates is also this blog, a 24 hours opened space for non-stop debates. We suggest you to write here whatever you want, to show links to articles, videos...

Every kind of ideas and initiatives are welcome and can have here the place to be pinned up and elaborated. For example... do you want to show us a great movie or documentary you have watched?? Try to ask in the campus if we can be allowed to arrange a cinema forum to watch it in the big screens with computer and projector. If you succeed, chose a day and advertise it here and with the mailing list!!

See you soon. A date for the first K. Debates will be published soon!!! Don't miss it.
