The Oxford Union

Founded in 1823, the Oxford Union has since become the most famous debating society in the world. As a student-run society, the Oxford Union hosts debates and individual speaker addresses for the purpose of the advancement of the education of our members. Boasting a 19th-century Parliamentary Debating Chamber in the heart of the city of Oxford, the Oxford Union has become the last bastion of free speech and civil open debate. The Oxford Union is committed to creating the conversations that matter by never failing to hold a spotlight over the zeitgeist of the time.
