With the start of the semester in November our beginners programme start as well. Over a course of 5 weeks there will be special seminars that teach you the basics of debating. Afterwards you have the opportunity to apply the newly aquired skils together with other beginners in a debate.

Unfortunately we cannot meet the high demand with enough corona-friendly rooms this year, which is why the seminars and debates will take place online.

​Seminar: Monday, 6 pm
Debates: Monday, 7 pm

The invitation link is sent out in the newsletter every Sunday evening. It is not mandatory to participate in the seminars and there are no registration fees.

In our debates we follow these rules:

Zoom and Discord

The seminars take place on Zoom, after which we transition to Discord. Here are some hints to avoid technical obstacles with Discord:

• There is a desktop version which runs more smoothly than the one in the browser.
• All debates have two channels: one video and on chat channel. It is possible to use the chat while your video continues.  
• At the bottom left there are buttons to turn your video on/off.
• You need an account.
• We ask everyone to use at least your real first name which makes the organization a lot easier. It is also a lot more personal :)
