Debating is, without debate, one of the most trusted ways
to develop one's ability not only to defend anything properly but to
communicate, organize or, for example, respond quickly and appropriately.
As a volunteer of this tournament, I didn't really have the
opportunity to debate. Come to think of it, I could debate the dishwashing or
allocating the debating rooms with the organizers and the other volunteers.
Still, I enjoyed the preparation of the rooms and also a role of the timekeeper
that I experienced for the first time. Even though I couldn't participate in
debating, I met several debaters from all over the world and made new friends.
It was really exciting. Briefly, I fully enjoyed being a part of this event.
Unfortunately, I couldn't see the Grand Final because I had
to leave for another event. However, the final round was recorded, I can
therefore see it now on YouTube. So can you:
The final motion stated that 'This house believes that in
the long run there is no hope to save Euro without a Federal Europe'. In spite
of the fact that both teams – USA A and Canada Red – demonstrated outstanding
performances, the cup was won by the Canada Red team. Big congratulations to
them!
Believe it or not, we face debating in everyday life
incessantly. People often have a lot of opinions that they proclaim loudly. However, they're
not always able to defend them. If you feel the importance of a well-stated
argument, start attending a debating club. If you are already a member, or have
some debating experience, remember: there will be Heart of Europe 2014 in a year!
