The School of Law invites you to join them in their new Debate Club, taking place on 27th October, 1pm and 3rd November, 1pm!

By joining the Debate Club, you will have the opportunity to learn how to present your ideas and arguments whilst interrogating those of your opponents. This is an exciting opportunity to exercise your public speaking skills and develop confidence in putting forward your views.

The theme of for debate on 27th October is, "Halloween is historically misogynistic and should not be celebrated" - on 3rd November, the theme will then be, "Gender Equality in law has largely been achieved." 

Come along and join what promises to be a lively and informed debate on gender equality!

You can join on Zoom here, or for further details contact the School of Law via their iLearn School page here.
