For young debaters in Taipei in July, this was the scene that emerged in the novice final round for the UBI Taiwan National Debate Tournament. On July 23, UBI Taiwan partnered with Ascent Academy to host its bi-annual UBI debate showcase. The tournament was a charitable event with the proceeds being donated to UBI Taiwan’s program assisting single-parent households to receive basic income. For Tyler Prochazka, founder of UBI Taiwan, these tournaments are important to introduce the idea of basic income to the next generation of Taiwan’s ‘youngest economists’. Both the novice and advanced divisions were won by the pro side advocating for basic income.
