Our annual Schools competition is BACK, and - hopefully - it'll be better than ever!!
You may also be asking yourself - and me, through your laptop screen:
"But just what exactly IS this 'Schools' that I'm hearing so much about..??"
And that would be a fair and excellent question. What is Schools...?
Well, to put it simply...
• It's an event that our Debating Union holds every year;
• It is ran by our members...
• And its participants are comprised of high school/college students, who travel to our university to take part in a whole day of debating!
As for information available to disclose at this time, we have this:
• It'll take place on 16th November 2024.
• It is a particularly long day of debating with an early start (just to make sure that you know what you're signing up to...).
• But don't worry about keeping energy levels up - we provide a free pizza lunch!
• ....did I mention we're having a social also?
• There will be a final at the end for the 4 best-ranked teams to encourage the developing of debate talk™️ in direct (but also somehow friendly) competition, that some lucky CAs will be able to judge for...
So, all-in-all, it's...
• Great for young prospective debators
• Great for your debating CV and breaks record
• ...& great for debate itself
Why wouldn't you want to take part?
