Debate at Eurooppasali 5.10

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

Dear all,

Next week we’d have an unusual session of a show debate at the Eurooppasali (Pohjois Esplanadi 31). Our older members would perform a debate on a topic : ‘Should the EU expand its borders only based on economic requirements?’

Come to the venue at 18:30 on Tuesday October 5th and indulge yourself with an interesting debate as well as a rigorous discussion among the audience afterwards!

Needless to say, we’d all proceed to the bar once it’s all over ;)

Debate 21.09

Friday, September 17th, 2010

Let’s continue rolling the ball for the DebSoc after such a fantastic first ‘proper’ debate session!

Next meeting will be held on Tuesday 21.09 at 18:30 in Cajsa (New Student House, Mannerheimintie 5B, 4th floor).

The topic of the debate is ‘This House Would Prevent Parents From Raising Their Children in a Particular Religious Faith’.

We hope to see many of our old and new members there and maybe some brave soul would actually debate for the first time on Tuesday! Sweet surprise for those who do ;)

First debate 14.09

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

The season had a wonderful start with plenty of people showing up for our show debate. What’s even better is that most of the people stayed with us in the bar until quite late hours for a weekday ;)

Let us continue debating and having fun! We’ll hopefully see you all on Tuesday 14th September at 18:30 in Cajsa (New Student House, Mannerheimintie 5B, 4th floor). The topic for the debate is: ‘Should we prohibit women over the age of 45 years form undergoing assisted human reproduction?’
See you all there!
