Hello everyone!
We are back and incredibly excited to announce the 8th edition of the Nordic Schools Debating Championships! The tournament will take place in Copenhagen from 4th of April - 6th of April 2025.
At NSDC we welcome both skilled and novice debaters. Look forward to three days of great debates, hosted by some of the best judges in the world. This is a fantastic opportunity to improve your debating skills, whether you're training for WSDC, want to try out debating for the first time, or anything in between! We hope to see as many of you as possible in Copenhagen this spring!
