It has been a decade now since the first ZEIT DEBATTEN series kicked off with at least five annual tournaments, among them the German debating championship. The series is nested under the honorary patronage of the former German chancellor Helmut Schmidt.
Wenn das Finale von Magdeburg wirklich im sächsischen Landtag stattfindet, bin ich aber auf den Transfer gespannt… 😉
Kurze Frage: Planen einige der Turnierveranstalter wieder Live-Streams vom Finale? Würde uns helfen, die wir uns derzeit außerhalb von Europa befinden…
Außerhalb von Dresden würde ja schon reichen…
@Alex: Bisher sehe ich noch keinen Grund, der dagegen spricht, dass wir (in Jena) wieder einen Live-Stream anbieten sollten.
@Jonathan: Sehr schön, das klingt gut.
