Why Zagreb EUDC?

A competition that makes a difference
Debating makes you ask questions that you never thought of asking before. Debating makes you list to the other side. And Zagreb EUDC will allow debating to reach the broader public. This is a Euros which matters. This is a competition that means that every person in Croatia hear what debating is. It can help societies across the country gain the nancial support that they otherwise lack. EUDC, the largest academic competition in Europe, is almost unique as it provides the opportunity to promote and popularize debating in Europes less developed debating circuits.

Regional Rotation
No institution from Bosnia, Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia. Moldova and Montenegro has the means to attend Manchester EUDC. It is optimal is EUDC can move across Europe from year to year to allow the maximum number of institutions and countries to attend.

Incredible Experience
The combined experience of Open Communication and the Zagreb Debating Union is unmatched. There is no organisational committee that can claim more experience in hosting EUDC. Open Communication is one of the most active organisational societies in Europe. It has run over 30 public campaigns, a yearly summer debating training camp, a yearly 50 team plus international competition (the Belgrade Open) and, of course, the 2012 European Universities Debating Championship. The Zagreb Debating Union has also run workshops and helped organize competitions across the country. Both organizations have a history of efcient cooperation and have successfully collaborated in the past to organize events together Both societies have the full backing of the City of Zagreb, and the Tourism authority has already pledged maximum support.

A Great Competition
Participants will be accommodated in 4* Hotels, all close to the venues. No other competition can offer such luxury. Socials will be in some of the regions best locations - including the Museum of Contemporary Art and Bundek Lake. Debates will be held at great locations throughout the city. In rounds will be held in the Facility of Humanities and Social Sciences. All rooms will are air conditioned. The out rounds will be hosted at several stunning venues. These include the Old City Hall, the National Parliament and The Croatian National Theatre - one of the most stunning venues in all of Europe.

Croatia
Rather than spend yet another summer in a country that youve been to before, you can instead spend it in one of the most beautiful places on earth. This is one of the reasons why we have joined with the Zagreb Tourist Board to offer the best possible day excursions. Our proposed day trip will be to the Plitvice Lakes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site which boasts crystal clear waters for swimming, kayaking and relaxing. Croatia also has some fantastic beaches and swimming opportunities, due to its incredible location on the Adriatic Sea. Other excursion options may include beach trips.

Letter from the Faculty

Dear Debaters of Europe," It is my pleasure to offer support and endorsement to our students proposing to host the European Universities Debating Championship." It is truly honorable when students actively engage in the pursuit of academic excellence especially so when they do this in their free time. The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences has always cherished the wish of its students to actively engage in the public discourse and their efforts to work towards a better society." The Faculty recognizes the value in building relationships between educational institutions and academics across Europe and we feel that this would be a wonderful opportunity for our students, our Faculty, the city of Zagreb and Croatia, especially in the light of the recent Croatian accession to the European Union." With all that in mind, I would be honored to welcome students from Europe and other participants of the European Universities Debating Championship at our faculty and provide them with all the hospitality the Faculty can offer."

Yours sincerely, Prof. Damir Boras, PhD Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences

Letter from the Chief Adjudicator

Dear Debaters of Europe," I have been to 6 European Champions and 6 World Champions. Ive seen and experienced many of the challenges that the European Debating has faced as we try to progress as a community. I started as an EFL speaker, and felt" all the challenges that non-procient speakers have throughout"their debating career." The European Universities Debating Championship," which has grown to a competition with more than 200 teams," is one of the most important and tough debating competitions in the world. Almost uniquely it provides the opportunity to promote and popularize debating in Europes less developed debating circuits. I think the best illustration of how it can comes from the impact that Belgrade EUDC 2012 has had: - 4 new debating societies opened in Belgrade over the last year; - Belgrade rst years organized tournaments, and even won tournaments, by themselves; - Participants from Zagreb that had an opportunity to participate at Belgrade, broke at next WUDC - 6 teams from Serbia broke at WUDC in Berlin. All of them had the opportunity to listen to debates or judge debates at EUDC 2012. The point is that hosting the European Championship has an impact. A huge one - to the host institution, to the country and to the region as well." We - or rather Euros Council - needs to help spread debating throughout Europe. Croatian debating has had some very successful periods - but, now - it needs another push. That is true about the region as well. Debating needs to become more popular in Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro, to name but a few." It is an immense honour that Zagreb asked me to serve as a Chief Adjudicator for Zagreb EUDC 2014. It is also a great pleasure to work with Rebecca in assembling an Adjudication Team that will produce quality and balanced motions, fair and reasonable allocation of judges and a great and inclusive competition." When I was the regional rep, I told Council that we're doing everything that we can to spread debate around the region. And we do. Open Communication offered help to pretty much any tournament held in the region since. And we don't stop. We won't stop.! So, welcome to Zagreb Euros." I promise we won't let you down.

Sincerely yours," Milan Vignjevic

We also believe that the development of debating in the Balkans and regional European circuit has been the single best thing about European debating in recent years.

Letter from the Convenor

Dear Debating Community, It is our pleasure to present Zagrebs bid to host the 2014 European Universities Debating Championship, brought to you by joint efforts of the Zagreb debating union, Open Communication and Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Zagrebs EUDC bid was motivated by a desire to bring debating back to the Balkans. Debating is an important and integral activity - its plays a role in how we engage, communicate and persuade. While in some societies debating is recognized and valued as an activity that should be invested in, in others it still lacks the institutional, nancial and societal support. Strengthening debating in such regions requires giving these institutions the chance to debate against some of the worlds best. More countries were able to attend Belgrade EUDC than ever had the opportunity to attend before and gave them the chance to integrate with others from across Europe in order to make debating a truly European way of solving disputes. However, many institutions lack the nances to attend EUDC when it is regularly far away. Teams from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia, Moldova and Montenegro are amongst those that are unable to attend Manchester EUDC. If EUDC is truly to be a European Championship and avoid excluding some of those that can gain the most through participation, it needs to be held in countries across Europe. We aim to make Zagreb EUDC will be one of the most accessible Euros in recent memory. We will also ensure the highest quality of competition. We already have the support of the Zagreb Tourist board and the full backing of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb. We can provide 4* accommodation for participants, and stunning venues across the city. In the spirit of regional cooperation, we have enlisted the support and expertise of Open Communication, the hosts of Belgrade EUDC 2012, to make Zagreb a memorable competition. We can promise excellent motions and a high quality judging. We will provide 50 full registration waivers and EUR10,000 exclusively for adjudicator travel. In short, we are certain the Zagreb EUDC will be amongst the best run and most enjoyable competitions that youve been to. We have entrusted Milan and Rebecca with the responsibility of making sure Zagreb EUDC 2014 is an outstanding competition and we are fully condent that theyll make sure you get the best people available for the rest of the Adjudication core, as well as top quality judging pool. There is great potential in debating; not only for fostering critical-thinking skills but also in the way it brings people together. This bid is an example of what a union can arise from people being able to openly communicate with each other in a safe environment. A team of people, connected beyond borders in a manner that would have been impossible a decade ago and is still highly unlikely in different circumstances with the best of intention to provide you with an excellent tournament accessible to all. It is with great pride and enthusiasm that we ask you to entrust us with hosting the European Universities Debating Championship in 2014. With hopes of seeing you all in Zagreb,

Nika Jelaska,

Deputy Chief Adjudicators

Zagreb EUDC plans to appoint ve Deputy Chief Adjudicators. We have a strong preference for a geographically diverse adjudication team, with DCAs that come from all over the continent. Our team will ideally have members from developed and developing circuits, as well as a mix of those with extensive adjudication experience and those with less experience on adjudication teams.

We are looking for candidates that have experience, perspectives and abilities that complement the current team. We are looking for candidates who have (in no particular order):

1) Organizational ability DCAs should have the ability to help with the running of the competitions and the ability to work well as part of a team 2) Motion-setting ability DCAs should be able to set interesting and fair motions and should have the ability to critique motions (including their own) 3) Strong Adjudicators DCAs should be good adjudicators, able to make correct decisions and provide high-quality feedback to participants. 4) Knowledge of their regional and European debating circuit DCAs should be approachable and have a broad, deep and current knowledge of their debating circuit. DCAs should also have experience and insight on international debating.

We plan to appoint ve DCAs: We have a strong preference for a geographically diverse Adjudication Team. While we do not have specic regions, we will endeavor to select candidates that come from a range of countries and have experience on different local circuits. A representative team is best placed to appropriately decide motions, test motions, rank judges, evaluate independent judge applications and be accessible to all members of the European Debating Community.

Adjudication Policies
Ensuring the best level of debating
For the rst time ever, Zagreb Euros intends - if successful in their bid - to conduct an investigation into possible biases against ESL speakers in adjudications. We will attempt to formulate an adjudication policy and judges brieng which will reect this investigation, and the possible areas of bias against teams for whom English is not their rst language.

High level workshops

We will also be offering training sessions for teams upon arrival, led by some of the top debaters and coaches in the world. Leaders so far include experienced debaters such as: Harish Natarajan, Michael Shapira and Manos Moschopoulos. We hope that this will enrich the experience debaters are able to have while at the tournament, while also giving those who receive less training at their home universities the opportunity to receive top quality debating sessions at no extra cost.

Independent Adjudicators
Zagreb EUDC is committed to ensuring the highest standard of adjudication. To that end, excluding the adjudication team, Zagreb EUDC will full subsides registration for 50 judges. Additionally, the competition will have at least EUR10,000 set aside exclusively for funding travel for independent adjudicators.

Registration Policy
Zagreb EUDC will follow Euros Council recommends. Failing direction from Council, we will adopt a policy similar to that suggested by WUDC Council. Whatever decision is made will be communicated carefully to the European Debating Community.

Zagreb EUDC is setting a team cap of 220 teams. Institutions will be required to send N-1 judges (1 judge for every 2 teams).

Costs" for accommodation, venues and the championship dinner have been conrmed. Other" costs" are estimated from our communication with different service providers and experience at Belgrade EUDC 2012. NB: In the original version of the budget we included the National Threatre as a social rather than as a venue cost. Venue costs include the cleanup and extra work/electricity costs - both of which we are highly unlikely to have to pay. Socials costs do not include the cost of free drinks. However we expect to get a lot of in-kind drinks sponsorship, as several brands are now attempting to expand into EU markets. The Championship Dinner and the social (with extensive free drinks) that follows it are accounted for under the Championship Dinner cost.
