This high-school-level deliberation activity asks the following question: Should the Global Compact on Refugees be revised to establish quotas for the number of refugees from conflict zones that developed nations should accept?
It includes a deliberation reading, glossary, visual, quotes, and recommended additional resources on the topic. It also includes handouts that guide students through the deliberation process from planning to reflection.
Deliberation teaches people how to discuss controversial issues by carefully considering multiple perspectives and searching for consensus. In preparation for deliberations, all participants read common, balanced background information on the issue. During the discourse, they offer arguments for each position on a contested public issue, first drawing from the text and then bringing in their own experiences.
