Debate on future of UK outside the EU - Brookes 22/5 - 1-3pm

The Brexit Generation: A debate on the UK’s future outside of the EU to be held on Tuesday 22 May, 1pm-3pm at Union Hall, Gipsy Lane Campus, Oxford Brookes University
  
This free event - as part of Think Human Festival at Oxford Brookes University - is aimed at secondary school and sixth form students interested in history, geography, politics, public speaking, business and current affairs but also more generally in their own future in a UK outside the EU.

The format will be loosely based on BBC's Question Time so that the students themselves set the agenda and ask the questions - about Brexit and the UK's future - that they want answers to.  Students will have the opportunity to submit their questions up until a week before the debate and from these a selection will be chosen. 

The debate will be chaired by Dr Stephen Hurt, Senior Lecturer in International Relations. Dr Hurt will be joined by a panel of academics and policymakers who will give their answers to these questions and debate with the audience. Confirmed panel members so far are Professor Kalypso Nicolaïdis (University of Oxford), Dr Mikko Kuisma (University of Tübingen, Germany), Sam Lowe (Centre for European Reform) and Layla Moran (MP for Oxford West and Abingdon).
If you have any further questions about the event please feel free to email Dr Stephen Hurt, shurt@brookes.ac.uk
