"Köppel on the campus"?
Roger Köppel, publisher and editor-in-chief of *Die Weltwoche*, is planning a new format for public debates at Swiss universities.
The murder of American cultural campaigner Charlie Kirk during a discussion with students has shown how vulnerable the culture of open debate and argument is, Roger Köppel wrote in a press release on September 12. Köppel also writes that Charlie Kirk was known for his public debates with students. The fact that he was murdered during such a discussion makes the importance of a genuine culture of debate all the more visible."
With this in mind, Köppel has announced a campus tour of Swiss universities. Students will have the opportunity to challenge Roger Köppel directly - not in prepared lectures, but in open question and answer sessions. Speech and counter-speech. According to Köppel, there is too little discussion in many places in Switzerland today. There is often a lack of understanding for the arguments of the other side and many remain in their own bubble.
