Working together for yet another season: The German public broadcaster ZDF (or Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen) and the Association of Debating at Universities (VDCH, or Verband der Debattierclubs an Hochschulen) have agreed on extending the cooperation between the two institutions. Jan Lüken, president of the students association, is delighted, “to have ZDF on board for another season. The cooperation proves that debating does have strong partners. VDCH is on a good way to reach the goals of the Roadmap 2015. Having the broadcaster on board is winning partners in key positions to strengthen debating.”

ZDF has been VDCH’s partner since spring 2010. The cooperation derived from the broadcaster’s public duty, Markus Schächter, director of ZDF, emphasized back then.
