Description

Every semester, CASAR AUC holds miscellaneous student debates discussing the hot controversial topics in the US, Egypt and from around the world in hopes of raising awareness about these topics & broadening the perspectives of our students as they learn to engage in fruitful discussions as they share different opinion on the topic being deliberated. At this CASAR Student Discussion event #3 in celebration of Black History Month, we watched Nelson Madela speak his mind about the topic in 1990, in which he proclaims solidarity with the Palestinian cause on behalf of the African National Congress. Then we opened the floor to the attending audience to speak their minds as they answered the question of the debate: Can solidarity produce mutual benefits for the African Diaspora & Palestine social movements? Here is the Nelson Mandela video we showed first: • Nelson Mandela on Palestine (1990) The winning student with the best argument will get the following:

  • A certificate of appreciation from CASAR
  • A special feature on the CASAR website, FB & IG accounts
  • An honorary special feature on the 'Speaker of the month' board at the center
