World Schools Debating Championship 2022

World Schools Debating Championship 2022

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.
