SODALES - The Dalhousie and King's Debate Society

Sodales provides the opportunity for Dalhousie and King’s College students to engage in competitive and non-competitive debates on a range of topics. We debate in two different styles throughout the year, British Parliamentary in the Fall, and Canadian Parliamentary in the Winter. Throughout the year, we provide a range of learning opportunities through training days and seminars as well as weekly practices.

For those who are interested, we provide partially funded opportunities to attend debate tournaments locally, nationally, and internationally. Sodales also provides debate leadership opportunities through our exec positions and opportunities to serve on the organisation committees of the 3 to 4 debate tournaments we host each year.

Beyond debate, Sodales also organizes social events to grow to culture of our society and to foster discussion in a less formal setting.
