Hello and welcome to the Kent Debating website, and to another year at the University of Kent!
This year promises to be an exciting and eventful one for Kent Debating , and we very much hope you’ll decide to be a part of the growth and development of 2010’s Best New Society.
Here’s a quick look at some of the events planned for the Autumn term:
Sept 29th – Introduction & Freshers Debate Winner
Oct 6th – Beginners Workshop & THW Raise The Drinking Age
Oct 13th – THW Legalise All Drugs
Oct 20th – THW Introduce a Fat Tax
Oct 27th – THB Pornography Empowers Women
Nov 3rd – THW Not Support Israel
Nov 10th – THB Britain is Broken
We use the British Parliamentary format of debating, and whether you’re interested in speaking or just learning a little more about the issues, do come along. As well as this we also help develop public speaking and advocacy skills, which are essential to a successful university career.
It’s also worth noting that we’ve changed the venue of our weekly debates from Darwin to Keynes Lecture Theatre 5 (above K-Bar).
So, if you’re interested in gaining new skills, meeting new people and broadening your knowledge on contemporary issues, come along to a debate and sign up on the Kent Union website, or by following this link here.
I look forward to seeing you all!
Oliver Blackley
President
