Vision

To promote free speech, debate, and discussion at the University of Aruba (UA).

Mission

The Debating Society organizes debate evenings on a regular basis to discuss topics that range from heavyweight ethical and political motions to more lighthearted motions.

Meetings

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the Debating Society has decided to postpone its activities. The regular debate evenings will resume at the start of the academic year 2021-2022.

Stay up to date with our upcoming events or follow our Facebook page for our next debate topics.
