The Georgetown Debating Union aims to allow the students the opportunity to hone their public speaking and critical thinking skills, by setting intellectually stimulating motions and allowing people a platform to freely discuss their ideas. Committed members will benefit the most from the club’s activity, but we hope to extend these benefits to the wider GU-Q community by allowing people more frequent opportunities to explore exciting and controversial topics through our events!
Host events within the university.
Host collaborations with other universities, and invite guest speakers and a public audience to participate.
Host smaller, less formal events between GU-Q and other universities as practice sessions once every other week.
Host formal, weekend-long tournaments in collaboration with other universities.
Provide training for club members where experiences and tips are shared to improve debating skills.
