James Haft from Chulalongkorn University, Ravi Prajapati from Assumption University and Sureerat Sachanakul from Mahidol University.

We would like to annouce the themes that will be debated in our 2nd EU-Thailand, these are ranked in random order.

The motions will be announced on the Orientation Day, 23rd January 2006 at Thammasat Tha Prachan Campus. It is compulsory for the adjudicators to attend the Orientataion Day as we will have an adjudication test . This will also directly benefit the debaters as we have prepared workshops on All-Asian debating style and presentation on the European Union. We look forward to meeting and getting to know all of you!
