As educational and great online debating is: It was great to see each other again and debate together at the KHG last Wednesday. Of course all debaters followed the necessary safety measures (wearing a mask, keeping a safe distance etc.).

Great tournament, Break & Donations

13/5/2020

 
We are very happy that the Central European Cyberspace Open was so successful and that there were so many great debates! The tournament that we organised together with three other clubs (see last post for more information) proved that debating even works in times of Corona. We are also happy that we were able to donate the entire registration fees from the tournament to a good cause. The winners of the tournament were allowed to decide to which organizations the donations (all in all 390 Euros!) should go to: "SOS Rijeka" and "Against Malaria Foundation". - Congratulations to Lovro and Tin, who won the Open Final and to Olja and Petar, who won the EFL. 

We are also very happy that members of the Debattierclub München achieved a break, too: Congratulations, Uzair and Philipp, for your Open Break!

Congrats to Uzair and Philipp for their Open Break!
​For reasons of transparency and credibility we would like to share the two donation confirmations / thank-you e-mails from the organisations with you:

The year is 2020 A.D. The public life is entirely occupied by the corona crisis. Well, not entirely... A strong debate club still holds out against the hardships and carries on its weekly training sessions online on Mixidea! This way we can not only keep our rhetorical skills sharp, but also train together with debaters from the whole worls. The competitive debating is also going forward. On the first weekend of April a few Munich teams took part in the first European online debating tournament: Berlin Online. And on the 25-25 of April we organize an own online tournament together with three other clubs (Prague, Cracow and Aalto): Central European Cyberspace Open. We are excited for this and thank everyone who is going to take part in it!

"Should the art be seperated from the artist?"

19/9/2019

 
Besides our club debates and tournaments we also participate at a lot of other events and try to spread knowledge about debating. - Here you can see a picture of yesterday’s debate at the beautiful "Künstlerhaus" in Munich. Our club members Philipp R. Müller and Christian Rausch (speaking in the picture) took part in a german debate about the topic “Should the art be separated from the artist?”. Since #metoo there has been a lot of discussion about celebrities like Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey etc. and the question if you can still enjoy their art or if that’s not possible anymore after what they have done.
