Greetings debaters! As part of the ANCIS conference next Thursday/Friday, there will be a show debate on the subject of tuition fees for students outside the EU. The debate will take place on Thursday afternoon, and there will be a preparation debate at some point next week to get ready. Unless somebody suggests something better, we'll use our standard 8 person format. If there are more volunteers than spots we might seed the audience with "speeches from the floor" after the debate.
The exact details are subject to discussion, but the purpose of the debate is to educate our audience about the issue and provide them with good argumentation to use when discussing tuition fees. As a reward, our debaters will enjoy fame, self-actualization, and a nice reception courtesy Helsinki City Hall after the debate (including alcohol ;-) ). Please let me know if you're able to participate, and also if you have a serious problem with debating either side of the issue. (We want to have the sides as evenly matched as possible.) ... Ami.
