This year's edition of the World Schools Debating Championship, the debating world cup for secondary level students, will be hosted by IDEA.
The World Schools Debating Championships (WSDC) is a truly global competition for high school debaters. WSDC takes place in a different country each year. Some of the recent host nations include Peru, Qatar, South Korea, Greece, South Africa, Thailand, Singapore, Germany, Indonesia, and Croatia. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mexico WSDC 2020 and Macau WSDC 2021 were held online.
