Thanks to a simple and intuitive design, each debate can be adapted to your needs: change the title to catch attention, rewrite the description to clarify the context, set an end date, add targeted keywords, and adjust the arguments to enrich the discussion.

Key Features

  • Customization: Editable title, description, and keywords
  • Date Management: Set an end date to guide the debate
  • Argument Editing: Add or remove ideas to match your objectives
  • Easy Sharing: Use in class or online
  • Anonymous Option: Encourage open and inclusive expression

It’s free and you can make a small gesture
