Lucas Röing

Head of Debate & Board Member

Hello,

My name is Lucas Röing and I am the Head of the Debate Committee. I am originally from Malmö. I am currently studying the Politices Candidate Program (political science), studying for a Bachelor of Economics on the side.

Most of my friends would probably describe me as a little old man. That is, although my life has been relatively short, I have surprisingly much experience in many fields. Before I became an active member in UPF, I was a part of the European Youth Parliament (EYP) in southern Sweden. During one of EYP:s sessions, I realised how much I like that organised type of debate. So, when I started my studies in Lund, my aim was to find some sort of debate society. Boy, did I find a great association! I started attending the weekly debate, and helped the previous committee heads with a couple of things, (e.g. setting up a debate in Swedish). After a while a was honoured with a nomination for this position. Now, here I am. It is not only that this has been an extraordinary experience for me, but I can assure you that it will be an invigorating prospect for you too!

Outside UPF, I really like to hang out with my family, I am politically engaged, I sail, I play squash and hangout with friends. I rather like dancing, so at the club you would find me at the dancefloor.
