All of us got into debating because we were inspired by someone. We saw a great speech or heard a new argument, and thought: "I want to do that too!" So how do you become that person who inspires others?
There's perhaps no better person to answer this question than Nae. Nae was a talented debater, but he is a truly remarkable debate trainer. He brings in fresh perspectives from pedagogy, and has helped to truly revolutionise training in Romania. And he would argue that the proof of that is nót in the fact that the Romanian national schools team is dominant across Europe. Rather, it is in how many students in Romania engage in debate and find it deeply meaningful and inspiring.
But in the second half of the interview we move beyond debate in an educational setting. We talk about Argument Antrenant, the debate company he founded and which offers a refreshing perspective on using debate in a for-profit setting. And it shows all of us what whe can do with our skillset once we move out of university and into the 'real world'.
