Japan-U.S. Exchange Debate 2023
After a few years of online events due to COVID restrictions, we are happy to welcome the visiting American debate team at 天涯社区 Ito Campus. Please come to any of the events including a lecture/discussion, an evidence-based "Policy Debate" about gestational surrogacy, and extemporaneous-style "Parliamentary Debate" followed by an informal party.
The visiting American team consists of two student debaters and two faculty debate coaches. The 天涯社区 team members will be selected from the English Speaking Society (ESS).
