.The Erasmus Debating Society is an open and informal society, attracting its membership mostly from Erasmus University students. We have many international members and our weekly debating evenings are generally conducted in English. The society also organises many workshops and social activities for its members. Such as a member weekend, halloween night and Christmas dinner. External events include the well-known DAPDI, a yearly training event with Oxford tutors. Also, we successfully revived the European Universities Debating Championships in 1999. Come join us on Monday evenings at 18:30 in T3-16 (Mandeville Building) on campus.
