\"\"<\/a>In the interview series \u201cEUDC talk\u201d we met David Lamouroux<\/strong> and Gabor Stefan<\/strong> of Debattierclub Georgia Augusta G\u00f6ttingen.<\/strong> They told us about the EUDC break, teamplay and debating addiction.<\/p>\n

Achte Minute:<\/em><\/strong> Hello David, hello Gabor! You’ve broken to ESL quarter finals. Congratulations for that, first of all.<\/p>\n

Gabor:<\/em><\/strong> Thank you! I was totally surprised that it worked out so well.<\/p>\n

Achte Minute:<\/em><\/strong> Gabor, this was your first EUDC participation. You’re already well known on the German circuit. What was it that surprised you the most on the international circuit?<\/p>\n

Gabor:<\/em><\/strong> I’ve already been to the Durham Open three weeks ago and last weekend to the Tilbury House Summer Open in Cologne. Especially the anglo-saxons exhibit an astonishingly high level of debating. It’s just fantastic to participate.<\/p>\n

Achte Minute:<\/em><\/strong> David, how was it for you to compete with Gabor? Are his English skills acceptable?<\/p>\n

David:<\/em><\/strong> Of course they are! What else could I possibly say? Eventually his future employer could google this.<\/p>\n

Achte Minute:<\/em><\/strong> Concerning employers! What are you actually doing when you’re not debating?<\/p>\n

David:<\/em><\/strong> I’m doing my PhD in Physics.<\/p>\n

Gabor:<\/em><\/strong> And I’m just finishing my Bachelor of Philosophy while waiting for a place to start the practical part of my law studies.<\/p>\n

Achte Minute:<\/em><\/strong> Did the fact that you’re coming from absolutely different academic fields benefit you as a team?<\/p>\n

Gabor:<\/em><\/strong> In my entire life, I’ve never heard a physics argument from David. Instead he is continuously trespassing into my field.<\/p>\n

Achte Minute:<\/em><\/strong> Well, what is then that makes you unique as a team?<\/p>\n

Gabor:<\/em><\/strong> David is just a very clever guy and has a good sense of the debate.<\/p>\n

David:<\/em><\/strong> Gabor\u2019s combination of Law and Philosophy is optimal: He can argue logically as well as he can answer very fundamental moral questions.<\/p>\n

Achte Minute:<\/em><\/strong> The tournament ended in the ESL quarter finals for you. What is your next goal?<\/p>\n

David:<\/em><\/strong> I want to establish English debating as a second pillar beside German debating in G\u00f6ttingen.<\/p>\n

Gabor:<\/em><\/strong> I want to focus on my academic career now. As after every tournament, I plan to devote less of my time to debating \u2013 but probably I will change my mind again, anyway.<\/p>\n

Achte Minute:<\/em><\/strong> Love?<\/p>\n

Gabor:<\/em><\/strong> Addiction!<\/p>\n

Achte Minute:<\/em><\/strong> Well, then we won\u2019t wish you to get well.<\/p>\n

Gabor:<\/em><\/strong> Thumbs up!<\/p>\n

Achte Minute:<\/em><\/strong> Thank you for the interview and all the best for the future!<\/p>\n

David:<\/em><\/strong> Thank you!<\/p>\n

Achte Minute invites you to get to know some participants of the European Universities Debating Championship 2010. Therefore, during the EUDC-days we had the series of interviews “EUDC talk”. Here we get in contact with debaters from all over Europe – whether participating as adjudicators, speakers or organisers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Die European Universities Debating Championships (EUDC) 2010 were held in Amsterdam from July 12 to July 17. The tournament’s slogan was \u201cSpread the love\u201d. Stay tuned – there’ll be more reports these days.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
