The SOAS IV wooed with reduced fees, compelling motions, an excellent pool of judges and its international character. Even if accommodation remains rudimentary and catering was more or less nonexistent, this tournament should not be missed by those seeking valuable debating experience, judging insights or just don’t want to miss an opportunity to stroll along the streets of London.

370 kilometers. That is the distance between Vienna and its little sister Zagreb. However the train there gets passed by heavy trucks on dirty roads, birds and once even a running wild boar. Unfortunately you seem to get charged by the hour, not by kilometer. Weiterlesen…

Hot debates in a hot city – this was, in short, the Tilbury House Summer Open 2010. The Cologne debating society held its Open tournament shortly before Amsterdam Euros, thus giving us Viennese debaters a great practice opportunity! Leonhard Weese and Florian Prischl (team Wien Drahdiwaberl) and Agnieszka Bibro and Jakob Reiter (Wien Calafati) represented us as speakers in the same formation as for Euros. Sabine Rainalter of Debattierclub Innsbruck was our judge. Weiterlesen…

Amsterdam Euros 2010

2010 July 18

What a highlight to this year’s debating season! Debattierklub Wien participated at its very first European Universities Debating Championships (EUDC) in Amsterdam. Together with our participation at Koç Worlds and the German Championships, our people at Amsterdam Euros showed our strong commitment to international debating. Not only were we able to foster new contacts, even friendships with debaters from all over Europe, we also had a lot of fun with these new (plus all old) friends and learned a lot about debating.

This House Will Learn!

The best occasion to do so: The Vienna Debating Workshop and Tournament on June 12 and 13 2010.

Speaker of the House, Ladies and Gentlemen!

We, the debaters, hold this truth to be self-evident, that debating is awesome. It would be foolish not to learn, and foolish not to listen to Lio, Manos and Milan. They will endow us debaters with certain unalienable methods of learning. These are learning by studying, listening, doing and interacting.
