The debate will take place on Friday 20 May in Darwin Lecture Theatre 1, 18:00 – 20:00.
Kent Debating Society is delighted to bring Kent students the first of many debates on the looming EU referendum. Our very own student groups, Vote Leave UKC and Kent: Students for Europe, will be providing speakers to argue their case.
We’ll be welcoming to campus Gordon Henderson MP, Member of Parliament for Sittingbourne and Sheppey to give his reasons why the UK should leave the European Union, and Professor of EU and Human Rights Law at the University of Essex, Steve Peers to make the case for Remain.
Alongside them we have Cesare Dunker and David Joseph Lakin for IN; Harry Sanderson and Emilio Kyprianou for OUT.
Pranav Sahni will be moderating.
Seven minute speeches from each participant will be followed by extensive time for an audience-led panel discussion with our guests. This event will be live streamed on Facebook on each respective student page. Snacks and beverages will also be provided on the door.
