About the project

DNA stands for Debate, not Argue, which is our goal – we want to create an environment where we can exchange opinions, experiences, and discuss; not fight over who is right or wrong.

Therefore, we gathered young educators, leaders, and engaged citizens from six countries, debated and shared our experiences. Through this collaboration, we have created various materials you can find on this website. From podcast series through videos to good old methodologies, we came up with materials to support similar endeavors – creating a society where we can debate, not argue.

To help us get closer to our goal, or maybe a more lively experience of it, we have created a virtual reality space – a Palace of Literates. A space where we can debate, meet, chat, and much more. Pay us a visit there, look into our themed workshop rooms, stop by our organizations’ booths or browse through our materials in a different space.

Within the project, our participants will be organizing local spin-off workshops in order to bring the topics of the project into their communities. If you are interested in inviting a DNA workshop to your school or youth group, contact the partner organization from your country. If you are from a country not represented in the project, let us know and we can arrange an online workshop in our Palace of Literates.
