Debates on 22nd January at the different venues:
ROUND 1 (prepared): "This house believes that education policy in Germany should be the responsibility of the Federal Government (in Berlin)."
ROUND 2 (impromptu)

Our weekend at Ehrenbreitstein: they need the exact number and sexes of visitors within the next two weeks, because they must reserve rooms etc. I suggest that you send the names etc of your team members for the debating weekend asap till 20th January. You may bring as many as you want to, 3 or 9 debaters, as you will have to pay for the stay accordingly and the youth hostel is big enough. But please, send the names soon. We are looking forward to seeing you soon! Best wishes Angelika

Let me add another important item: we would like to bring students and teachers together and create an atmosphere of solidarity and understanding all through the debating community. Therefore we will have a social evening on Friday. We would like to ask every team to somehow contribute to this event. How you want to contribute or what your team will do is up to your own creativeness and talent. Most teachers are familiar with "warmers" and other activities meant to facilitate group formation. The main thing and aim is that everybody helps create a positive group atmosphere of mutual trust, confidence and security among German debaters and coaches or judges.
