About this event

What to expect

Happy New Year!

I hope that you are all doing well and looking forward to the debate workshop coming up on the 23rd of January at 18:30 - 19:30.

The motion for the debate is:

“The UK should transition from its current uncodified constitutional framework, which relies on statutes, conventions, common law, and works of authority, to a single, written document that formally outlines and guarantees the fundamental principles, powers, and rights governing the country”

Please come to the debate prepared to be assigned to either the Government or Opposition on the day.

This debate is in a casual, relaxed and learning environment. Come ready to engage with like minded individuals who all share the common goal of developing their debating and ultimately advocacy skills.
