The La Trobe Organised University Debating (LOUD) club has begun to organise weekly debates. They are a good chance to try out your powers of persuasion and oratory.
Topics are not difficult and only require your general knowledge to debate. They include issues of climate change, military intervention, developing countries, indigenous relations and more. Alternatively, you may prefer to join the adjudication where you listen and give your feedback on who won and why.
When: Tuesdays at 5.30pm–7.30pm
Where: Union house in Function room 3Teams of three speakers are formed and the topic gets released at 6pm. Debates start at 6.15 pm and usually last for about an hour.
We also have team spots availiable for the Melbourne ‘Australian National Debatng Championship’ during the easter break. Please visit the website www.easters2010.com
