This is GSB Debating - Team Hamburg. A World Schools experiment. We define winning differently... "Wir haben sofort zugesagt", erinnert sich Sebastian Kruse.
Die GSB nimmt seit langem erfolgreich am Wettbewerb "Jugend Debattiert“ teil. Seit 2013 haben Schülerinnen und Schüler die Möglichkeit, sich auch auf Englisch mit Gleichaltrigen zu messen. Als Teil der Debating Society Germany fördert und fordert die GSB talentierte Schülerinnen und Schülern. Bereits im Juni 2013 fiel der Startschuss in diesem ambitionierten Projekt.

On a Monday night
At seven not eight
We met in the Zeighaus
To have a debate
And lovely it was
The topic: Harry Potter
Should we legalize his magic?
We spoke without a stutter
„The risk, the risk“, Mr. Kruse said
And Ms. Heinrichs continued: „Magic is bad.“
Then Mr. Schuster, he seemed very sure
„We don´t need Gandalf´s magic, not anymore“
And Touali replied: „What about the kids“
„And poor Arthur Weasley, he´s unhappy, yes“,
Said Lotta, right before Pauline grabbed the mic: “come on everybody, let´s eat, it´s almost christmas!”
So that´s what we did
We talked and we ate
We ate and we talked
And the day started to fade

Bittersweet times in Mannheim at Debating Society Germany e.V. Junior League Finals 2018! Rocked the speaker rankings with two third places for Pauline & Lotta! Missed the semi finals. Said good bye to coach Lara. Got closer to becoming a vegetarian debate society & had a blast with all of it! Special thanks to Eric Swanson for coaching sessions and city tour!

For the first time we participated at Nordic Schools Debating Championships which took place in Copenhagen. Both teams finished with 3 out of 6 wins. Long prep nights, great discussions, interesting food, a cold bike trip, beautiful locations, good teamwork and a lot of fun. We are looking forward to our next trip :)
