We are pleased to invite debaters, coaches, adjudicators, and alumni to the 2nd Lithuanian Individual Debating and Public Speaking Championships (LIDPSC) — Lithuania’s official national qualifier to the World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Championships (WIDPSC).
This championship brings together the sharpest, most articulate, and most ambitious speakers from across Lithuania to compete in four disciplines:
- Interpretive Reading
- Persuasive Speaking
- After-Dinner Speaking
- Debate (WSDC format)
If you’d like a clear breakdown of each discipline, you can explore our workshop series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLydxtzUM8atRTvMXz9Jhpls5jx9cZ2M1G&si=DrE90GtsQTP3386M
