Get to Know Us
The Society
We’re much more than a bunch of debaters.
We’re a family of passionate students, using our public speaking skills and our ideas to make a difference.
Our Story
Like all great societies, we started small. Our goal was to build a vibrant and diverse environment where every debater can grow. Some decades later we are one of the most competitive European debate clubs, while ensuring that each and every one of our members feels confident to speak their mind.
