A Speakers’ Corner for Lüneburg
June 2017
An enterprising group of students from Leuphana University has established a Speakers’ Corner – or, in German, Rede Ecke – in the heart of the historic city of Lüneburg in northern Germany.
They’ve already held two successful events – with SCT director Peter Bradley a guest speaker at the second on 24 June – and are planning to organise more on a monthly basis over the course of the summer.

Freedom of Expression
"Freedom of expression is the cornerstone of democratic life. It is by the free exchange of ideas among citizens about how they should live together and how they should be governed that we create and sustain the democratic society. So the rights to free association and expression are scarcely less important than the right to live in peace and free from want."
Forum for Debate
SCT's online Forum for Debate provides a space for leading academics, campaigners and commentators to set out balanced arguments on key contemporary issues as a means of stimulating wider public debate about them.
Each debate is supplemented by an invaluable bibliography of further reading provided by the British Library.
