Dear Debaters,

The University of Helsinki Debating Society is happy to invite you to join our weekly debate next Tuesday at the New Student Building in Cajsa (Mannerheimintie 5B, 4th floor). As usual, the motion for the debate will be announced at 18.30, after which the debaters will have 15 minutes to prepare their arguments.

After the more formal part of the evening we will continue the conversations in the downstairs bar or in another location announced later.

As some of you might have noticed, the Debating Society has also started a blog! You can find a link to it from the side bar. We will try to publish as often as we can, and the articles will about all sorts of topics, more or less related to debating. If you have a topic in mind that you feel passionate about, don’t hesitate to contact me by email (Mitjo.Vaulasvirta[at]helsinki.fi) or in Facebook!

The National Finnish Debating Championship 2011 is coming up on December 2-4. This is a tournament organized by the University of Helsinki Debating Society together with the Aalto Debating Society.

This Tuesday we will have a policy debate at 18:30 in Flora (Address: Mannerheimintie 5B, 3th floor). For the sake of practice, we have decided to release the motion previously in order to give debaters more time to prepare. However, the positions will be randomly chosen on Tuesday.

The motion for Tuesday is “THW expel countries from the EU”.

Looking forward to your inspiring ideas on Tuesday, just come and join us!

We will continue the discussion after the normal debate section in the downstairs bar.
