I’m sitting in the TAB room in Ljutomer, a traditional place for the High School international debate tournament, this year also called the International debate weekend.
41 teams, 130 participants and 6 rounds with semifinals and finals. The semifinals are just finishing and we will announce the finalists ASAP.
It is great to be at a tournament again, it has been a while since I was at a big tournament and I really felt great to be here and see all the people.
In the semifinals we have Canada, Ljutomer (Slovenija), Bežigrad (Slovenija) and and Druga Maribor (Slovenija), all great teams, I’ve seen all of the debate in the past (except Canada).
I will post on the winners and we have recorded a lot of debates that will be posted on youtube, so you can see them if you wish.
Some Slovenian University debaters are in Oxford, we have 3 teams there.
