from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Deutsche Debattiergesellschaft - Alumni und Förderer des Debattierens eV (DDG) is an association for friends of debating , of debating organized as a competition, based in Berlin . The members, who have outgrown the student debating clubs, are united by an interest in remaining connected to debating and in establishing and promoting a German-speaking debate culture.
