Lebanese Youth Challenge Taboos
The article discussed the Lebanese youth's experience in engaging with sensitive and divisive issues through the "Debates on Controversial Topics" project in schools during the 2025-2026 academic year. Approximately 300 students from 26 schools participated, addressing ten topics including identity, religious diversity, hate speech, and cultural heritage, using a model based on building and analyzing arguments. The results showed that 99% of participants felt they had sufficient opportunities to express themselves, 68% benefited from the discussions, and 94% expressed a desire to repeat the experience. Most importantly, the new generation rejects the fear of difference and strives to manage discussions consciously and fairly, demonstrating young people's ability to discuss religion, identity, and freedom without fanaticism—emphasizing understanding others and the importance of constructive dialogue.
