Hi Debaters, ESN is organising the annual Buddy Project, where we form "buddy groups" of foreign (mostly exchange) and Finnish students, and the Launch Day is this Sunday the 17th of September. We will have a City Rally between 2 p,m.- 6 p.m. and we really need more people for the check-points! I'm sure you know the drill; volunteers (ESN people and some organisations) will have different check-points at specific locations with different assignments, and the groups go around the check-points and try to pass the assignments with good points. The debaters could make each group do a small debate, over several topics so you won't get bored... all you'd have to do in advance is prepare the topics, and then just sit there for the 4 hours. But it's fun, honest! In the evening we also have the Buddy Party at the New Student House, Alina Hall, and you're welcome there as well! There's some fun program,and well you know, the usual :)
I probably have to be at another check-point, but I already asked around after today's debate (which was great by the way!) and Tuomo said he would probably be able to come, so if anyone else could make it this Sunday, please contact me and/or Taina, the Buddy-projet secretary ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). More info on the Buddy project on our website at http://www.helsinki.fi/hyy/esn/buddy.html Thanks! See ya!
