WORLD SCHOOLS DEBATE is a 3-on-3 debate event which features a dynamic format combining the concepts of “prepared” topics and “impromptu” topics, encouraging debaters to focus on specified issues rather than debate theory or procedural arguments. This highly interactive style of debate allows debaters to engage each other, even during speeches.
