Description
Welcome to Agora! We are a safe and accepting place for students to come together to discuss, debate, and talk about ideas we may not discuss in everyday life. We love forming questions about anything and everything! Founded deep within the Humanities department, the majority of our cohort consists of Philosophy, Religion and Ethics students, but we love to welcome anyone who enjoys to think and question their own ideas!
To give you a taste of our sessions, we have previously run sessions such as:
1) Is there such thing as bad art?
2) Looking at Memories- 'Do Memories still exist if we forget them?'
3) The Truth About the Trolley Problem
4) Trip to the British Museum
5) How do we ascribe value to the world?
6) Well-being session- Fingerpainting and film watching.
We are always looking for new perspectives, ideas, and topics to ponder upon, and discuss, so please do come along and join us! Even if you just want to come along and listen, we welcome anyone and everyone! We look forwards to seeing you soon!
If you have any questions or general enquiries, please feel free to get in touch!

MEMBERSHIP T&Cs
Where an activity group (sports team/society/representational network) has a competitive element or other external factors that affect the number of participants, your membership may be subject to criteria other than joining the group via this website. If this results in your membership not being able to be accepted, you will be informed (with any relevant details) and your membership will be refunded.
Membership will not normally be refunded if you cease being a student, if you voluntarily end your membership, or if you are subject to disciplinary action that removes your membership status.
CODE OF CONDUCT
By joining this activity group you are confirming your compliance with Student Union policies and bye-laws, particularly as it pertains to conduct, personal safety and acceptable behaviour.
Initiations: At no point should you feel pressured to drink and get involved in what others are doing, for example to join in with drinking games or ‘challenges’, if you don’t want to. If you are part of an activity group it is completely your choice whether or not you attend a social event. Activity groups are prohibited from carrying out initiation ceremonies, or any initiation-type behaviour, either on or off campus. If you ever feel pressured to take part in social activities as part of an activity group, we would strongly encourage you to report it to us here: https://www.winchesterstudents.co.uk/report It is our upmost priority that you feel safe engaging in Union activity, and there is support available for you if you have experienced or witnessed anything that made you feel uncomfortable or concerned you.
