Regent College students get the opportunity to have their say and debate the big issues of our times in regular ‘Soapbox’ sessions.

Topics discussed since September last year have included female circumcision, knife crime, homicide and the death penalty, to women and their role in the environment. Each session involves a guest speaker, students then have a chance to voice their opinions, ask questions and debate the issue.
Guest speakers have included Penny Poyzer ‘green’ author and broadcaster,  Ken Lowells from Amnesty International and PC Harvey from Leicestershire Constabulary.
Sima Jadav, a Learning Mentor at Regent,  organises Soapbox with colleague, Jess. They said students have found Soapbox sessions interesting, an eye-opener and factual. A Law student said: “ Its good to be able to voice my personal opinions and debate the topics with my friends.”
