Oxford University Union

The Oxford University Union (OUU) is a historic debating society at the University of Oxford, founded in 1823. It hosts debates, speeches, and discussions on political, social, and cultural issues, bringing together students, academics, and prominent speakers. Known for its tradition and influence, the Union provides a platform for engaging with challenging ideas, developing public speaking skills, and fostering intellectual exchange. While it is primarily a student organization, it also attracts distinguished external speakers and serves as a hub for lively intellectual debate aligned with Oxford’s academic community.
