Politica, Orator, Mágus and IceMUN presents:
Forum Politica, the first debating union of the University of Iceland.
Introduction meeting will be held at Wednesday the 20th of September at 6 pm/18:00 in Oddi 201.
The meeting will be divided in two parts. The first one will consist of an introduction of the debating union and then a demonstration debate. The demonstration debate will have as its topic the sale of alcohol in supermarkets, and will four volunteer students as debaters. Go to the “Rules of Debate” page to see details on how the debate will be conducted.
In the last half people will be given the opportunity to participate themselves, and take the first steps towards improving themselves as debaters and public speakers. The topic here will be announced in the break between the debates and people may sign up then.
We hope that the meeting will be over before 20:00, with two debates each at 34 minutes, a 20 minute break and a short introduction.
Unfortunately, the meeting and debate will be held in Icelandic, but later debates will be held in English, and we therefore encourage foreign students to come to get to know the association. Food and light refreshments will be served in the break between the sessions. Entrance is of course free, and the meeting is open to all students.
Again, this is an introductory meeting, where we hope as many as possible will show up. Such an association has never existed before within the university, and it has been sorely missed. This is first and foremost for rehearsal and training, and we emphasize that we are all new at this, so the meeting will be informal and relaxed.
Hope to see you there!
