Controversial Night | Real Topics, Real Opinions | Shanghai

CONTROVERSIAL NIGHT

Real Topics. Real Opinions. Different Perspectives.

What happens when people from different cultures, backgrounds and generations sit around one table to discuss the things we don't always agree on?

Welcome to Controversial Night at DEVERENT — a weekly social experience in Shanghai where everyone has an opinion, and every perspective deserves to be heard.

No lectures. No experts. No right or wrong answers.

Just real people, bold questions, honest disagreements, and conversations that might change the way you see things.
