After the great success at the University Debate League and the High School Debate League, last year was the first edition of the Quick Debate Marathon, a new chance for university students to work on their oratory skills. This activity is organized by the Community Involvement Unit and the Observatory for Equality.

The debate marathon seeks to promote student involvement and debate and to raise awareness among the student community of equality of rights between men and women. This year, the topic for debate therefore will be: Is equality between men and women the true key to rigorous science?

On 27 June, there will be a training session on the details of the debate competition, the screening of the film Hidden figures and a scientific talk. The actual day of the Quick Debate Marathon, on 29 June, there will be at least 2 debates, depending on the number of teams registered. Students should register with their team, made up of minimum of 2 students and a maximum of 5. The registration period ends on 20 June 2017.

This activity can be recognized with 2 ECTS credits. Find more information in the Community Involvement website.
