@EliotWilson2 This debate is a student speaker debate and will feature students from various political societies as well as the UDS.

I loved debating at University and made a lot of good friends with a wide range of views. Those friendships, and some of our differences, have lasted. The Bogwall is a great way to get started, sharpen your skills and learn that we can disagree agreeably.

Interested in starting competitive debating? There are some last minute spots available for Bogwall this Saturday in Aberdeen for novice debaters - if you’re interested contact Zaine Victor Mansuralli or message the page for more details ASAP!
