MOSA – An Unique Formula to Organize debate

Presenter: Negar Esteki

Abstract: MOSA was founded in 2001 in Amsterdam. MOSA was founded primarily to give the youngsters in Amsterdam a voice by starting a radio broadcasting for and by the youngsters of Amsterdam.

Young people of all ages, education and cultural background get the opportunity to cooperate and create something that matches the experiences of the youth in Amsterdam.

MOSA received different prizes, like the first prize for best youth radio programme in Amsterdam.

The format of Mosa is fully designed, created and completed by the youngsters themselves. The topics that are being discussed is based on the interest of the young people.

MOSA has developed an unique formula to organize debates at various locations.

At MOSA I guide the youngsters by organizing debates. We have a couple of meetings where they have to brainstorm. Then everyone is getting one or more tasks. My job is to guide them through that process and help them where needed. And off course I have to make sure that they finish their tasks on time.
