Debat van de Eeuw
Program in Dutch. Our opinions are drifting further and further apart, and we’re letting algorithms shape them. Social media, controlled by large and powerful tech companies, plays a central role in this. How will we look back on our social media use later in this century? How will it go down in history? We’ll explore these questions during the Debate of the Century. Together with experts Linda Duits and Kelli van der Waals and moderator Max Terpstra, they will ask each other questions about the world in which they will soon be living. Featuring a starring role for debate talents from the Barlaeus Gymnasium and Haarlemmermeer Lyceum Dalton.
