World Schools Debate is a competitive format of debating that involves teams of students from different countries. Each team typically consists of three members who argue for or against a given motion, which is announced shortly before the debate begins. The format encourages critical thinking, teamwork, and public speaking skills. Debates are judged by a panel, and teams are scored based on their arguments, presentation, and ability to engage with opposing viewpoints. World Schools Debate is popular in schools and universities worldwide, fostering international collaboration and understanding among young debaters.
