St. John's Debate Society: WUDC Champions Workshop and Public Debate

Here is a video of a Worlds Debating workshop conducted by Chris Croke and Steve Hind, the current WUDC Champions from Sydney Union. The workshop is one of the best we've done, I think. This was at King's College, Manhattan.

Secondly, here's a video of a public debate that St. John's Debate Society members put on for the campus in our public debate series. The motion was: This House supports a nuclear Iran.

HWS Semis Motion and Novice Final Motion

This House would establish an international force to arrest those indicted by the ICC. Are superhumans involved? And how many concussions are we going to permit among these troops? So many questions for the Opening Prop to consider.
