Dear debater,

maybe you also have these thoughts: This could be the year… The year, I get back into debating. The year, in which I break into the finals at Copenhagen Open. The year, in which I stay up to date with debating news. For the latter, this issue of the newsletter could be just the thing for you :)

Have fun reading and see you next month!

Maybe you've asked yourself this before: What is it like to participate in an international tournament? Felix from Berlin wrote an article about it called “Die VDCH-Klassenfahrt nach Amsterdam“. In this article, he writes about what it was like to travel to Amsterdam with other people from German clubs and take part as a native German speaker.
