DAPDI is an international training week for debaters from all over the globe. The world’s finest debaters and trainers (most commonly represented in the same person) from Oxford university come to Rotterdam to teach eager debaters the skills that are necessary to become debating champions. The last two days of DAPDI consist of a tournament, organized and judged by these tutors. The registration for DAPDI 2013 is now open. More Information can be found on there website.

When?
The date for DAPDI this year is from the 5th until the 9th of August. Therefore it is one of the last opportunities to train for the European University Debating Championships.

Where?
As always, DAPDI will be held in Rotterdam, which is easily accessible by airplane, train, bus and bike. Detailed itineraries will be available at a later time.

Program?
Last year’s program featured debate workshops and a tournament during the day, and an evening program with great food in restaurants and a whole lot of drinking, dancing, and partying in some of the best bars and nightclubs Rotterdam has to offer. However, this year’s DAPDI is obviously going to be even better. The exact program will be anounced later.

Crash?
Each year the hardest thing about organizing DAPDI is finding crash. We are still busy trying to get the best possible accommodation for you. However, you can be sure that crash will be available to you if you need it.

Trainers?
This year’s trainers are not yet known. Last year’s trainers were: Matt Handley, Andrew Rhodes, Kate Brooks, Daniel Bregman and Catherine Hunt.

The participation fee for DAPDI 2013 is 110 euros if you register before July 1st. Erasmus university students get a 30 euro discount.
