In July 2019, Team Germany attended the World Schools Debating Championships in Bangkok, Thailand. Roughly, 60 teams from all over the world attended the tournament. Germany managed to achieve 4 wins at the end of the tournament, winning against teams from Macau, Thailand, Scotland and Oman. One of the speakers, Sarah Grudzinski, had an individual speaker score that placed her in the top 75 speakers of the world. Furthermore, Louisa Brög, a former member of Team Germany broke to the finals as a judge. The tournament, which stepped in as a replacement venue after the events in Sri Lanka during Easter provided for a great tournament, especially looking at the few months they had to organize the event. We hope to improve further our performance for Mexico WSDC 2020.
