Design for Debate

Design for Debate is a structured approach to creating products, services, or environments that encourage open, respectful discussion and diverse perspectives. It involves intentionally designing features—such as spaces, interfaces, or tools—that facilitate constructive dialogue, critical thinking, and understanding among users. The goal is to promote collaborative problem-solving and democratic exchange of ideas by considering how design impacts communication and interaction. Essentially, it ensures that the design supports meaningful debates, helping users share viewpoints effectively while fostering inclusivity and mutual respect.
