Getting Involved

Weekly Events & Internals

The easiest way to get involved is to come along to our weekly Monday night internals, hosted at 6pm during the university trimester. You can find exact details on our Facebook page as well as updates for social events, mini tournaments or trials for competitions.

Internals are weekly sessions from 6pm that usually begin with a short seminar on a debating skill or topic area, before diving into organised debates where we can place you with our more experienced members. You can register for internals at their respective Facebook events on our page, or find more about debating at our resources page.

Socials

Starting in O-Week and going straight through to the end of the year, we're putting on socials just for you! After our weekly internals, we head over to The Rege to hang out, with food to share. Keep an eye out for our biggest events at our Events page and our Facebook. We have frequent Women and Gender Minorities (WGM) and People of Color (PoC) socials across the year, and we hold an annual first year social at the end of the year for newcomers! We close out the year with DebBall, a night of festivities at the fanciest venue our lack of money can buy. We hope to see you there!

Competitions & Trials

Ranging from the fun and bizarre UNSW IV to the Australasian Intervasity Debating Championships right through to Worlds, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in debating at any level! Tournaments offer fantastic opportunities to debate not only in Sydney and interstate - but even internationally! Find out more here; and keep an eye out for trials for our tournaments on Facebook.
