World Schools Debating Championships
 
Excellence in debating. International understanding. Freedom of speech.
 
The World Schools Debating Championships (WSDC) is a truly global competition for high school debaters. The Championships take place each year in a different country, hosted by a national debating body. Recent venues include Sydney, London, Johannesburg, Singapore, Lima and in 2006 Cardiff, Wales.

All debates take place in English. Each country can submit a squad of 3-5 students under 19 in full time education in that country to debate social, moral and political issues.

Past patrons of the Championships include Tony Blair and Nelson Mandela.
