What We Do

    We host weekly meetings where members can participate in debates on various topics ranging from politics, economics, social issues, and more. Our members come from diverse backgrounds and perspectives, making our debates insightful and enriching. We also organize workshops and training sessions to help members develop their debating skills and public speaking techniques.
    Harvard Union hosts annual debating tournaments where members can compete against other university debating societies. Members can also participate in intercollegiate debates and represent Harvard Union in regional and national competitions. We believe that debates are an essential part of a thriving democracy and a way to promote mutual respect, understanding, and intellectual growth.

Prior experience in debating is not required, but a willingness to learn and engage in thoughtful discussions is a must. We welcome students from all academic backgrounds and encourage diversity of thought and opinion.
