Hello! I’m Theodore Ganea and I’m introducing Public Forum Debate to Romania. NSDA China has been a major inspiration for me; if PF could be introduced to China to such great extent, and help so many students students to gain critical thinking and find their voice, I knew we could do it in Romania as well. The challenges and rewards of spreading PF to China that you described resonated a lot with me. Given your experience in introducing debate to new countries, would you be interested in collaborating in some way?
