Direct Ring Turns Disagreement into a Stage Format
A Nantes studio designs, moderates, and produces structured debates for universities, public bodies, media organizations, and companies.
Field notes
The studio’s workflow runs from editorial framing to a written rulebook, participant selection, moderator briefing, and live timekeeping. Its catalogue distinguishes a three-round jury-scored oratory contest, a four-to-six-person round table, a 20-minute opening debate, and a citizen forum with mobile microphones and live position summaries. The page states that Direct Ring has produced 210 debates and trained 14 moderators since 2011, though those figures are presented as company claims rather than independently verified records.
