UHI Debating Society
Nearly every university has a debating society; they even do it in schools now!
So why does UHI not have one? That is because no-one has come forward to start one.
Debating is ideally suited to VC but so far, it has never been done.
I was contacted recently by a lecturer that actually teaches debating and he has offered his services to get this project up and running. There is a grant which we could apply for, but this is time-limited, so we will have to be quick.
I will provide the support, advertising and organise the VC's...
The lecturer will provide the training...
All we need is a student to work with us - go on, you know you want to!!!
Writing an essay is very much the same as doing a debate, so its a chance to practice those skills in an active way...
You can write 'I set up a debating society whilst at university' on your CV...
Its a chance to meet student from other courses
The skills you learn will be transferable to other endeavours such as in future work
