Newcastle Debating Society Description
Having tons of fun discussing everything and anything (even zombies) while developing public speaking and presentation skills as well as building confidence.
Whilst the style of the debates is formal (known as British Parliamentary), we do not take ourselves too seriously. It's the taking part and the fun to be had that counts - even for competitions that take place nearly every weekend across the UK and further afield.
