Debate Club

The Debate Club tackles current controversies through a productive debate designed to reignite enthusiasm for discussion. Two spirited guests face off against two equally spirited and experienced hosts: Nicole Deitelhoff and Michel Friedman.

The event is accompanied by students from classes in Frankfurt and the surrounding area. These students act as debate analysts, critically examining the arguments presented and uncovering rhetorical strategies. Not only can they intervene during the debate, but they also take center stage for the grand finale, where they share their observations directly with the panel participants. The Debate Club is an experimental format that continues to evolve in collaboration with the students.
