Alongside its live programming, Doha Debates released a new season of its flagship debates online, reaching global audiences with Majlis-style conversations on freedom, justice, identity and belonging. Throughout the year, Doha Debates convened a series of international town halls that brought students into direct conversation with leading global thinkers. Doha Debates later returned to Doha, convening students with Dr. Omar Suleiman, Dr. Gregg Caruso and Professor Jeremy Koons to examine how science, faith and philosophy shape justice and moral responsibility. Through town halls, Community of Practice training initiatives and the Doha Debates Ambassador Program, more than 400 young people from over 80 nations participated annually in dialogue-driven leadership development. In 2026, Doha Debates builds on this momentum with a new Doha Debates Podcast season, opening with “Has disagreement become disinformation?” featuring Glenn Greenwald, Renée DiResta and Siva Vaidhyanathan, alongside town halls, another flagship show season, and the continuing season of The Negotiators.
