Semi-final Break at SODM

Our team with Julia and Leander achieved a semi-final break at the South-East Debating Championship (SODM) in Nuremberg. With that, they secured Munich an extra team slot at the German Debating Championship (DDM) this month. In total, four teams from Munich participated at this tournament. Jola and Phillip just barely missed the break by a couple of speaker points. Clara was awarded the young talent adjudicator prize at this tournament.
