Delegations should consist of high-school debaters and adults who will act as adjudicators and workshop leads. Following the experience from previous years, we welcome debater-led workshops to promote peer learning. Debaters will prepare these sessions during the Forum. Each delegation must include at least one adult (aged 18+) ready to deliver a session.
