Hi everyone,

to work with this summer are:

 Chris Carpenter, US
 Alina Costache, Romania
 Kenda Cunningham, US
 Margarita Dusciac, Moldova
 Aaron Fishbone, US
 Liviu Gajora, US

Afterwards, the trainers started their preparations. We are currently 
working on the content areas for the freedom of expression topic area. 
We are also discussing the schedule and the structure of rounds for the 
tournaments. In addition, the coordinators for the two new tracks that 
we will be offering (one for students new to KP debate and another for 
high-school graduates) are working on developing the schedule and 
curriculum for these tracks. 

Please go to the discussion boards and meet the trainers
