Why the need for this society?

Cambridge has a thriving intellectual life, however most of it runs inside the University which excludes many people that are not associated with the academic environment but still have an interest in challenging their mind.

This society was created by a group of Cambridgeshire residents and academics who have an interest in developing their arguing and debating skills as well as learn tools to assess the reliability of information.

In this "post-truth" climate, it is difficult to tell if the information we are exposed to is to be trusted. Our society offers courses, workshops and social events to exercise our skills in critical thinking.

We are also offering counselling services to support those who are going through life crises which involve the questionning of their values of beliefs. Sessions can be booked with our trained counsellors and coaches which take confidentiality in the highest regard.
