What is SOLA Cup 2021?

World School’s Debating Championship (WSDC) format debate tournament with Impromptu motions only and modifications made to suit this event.

This will be the first ever international debate tournament fully organized by high school students. By creating an opportunity to compete in parliamentary debate, we hope to provide high school students from all over the world with a chance to gain skills necessary to thrive in a globalizing society– logical thinking, problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration, knowledge about current affairs, and public speaking skills. Furthermore, this tournament will be an opportunity for students to not only interact with world class debaters, but also test their debating skills against those their age from other countries and receive high quality feedback from many high achieving judges. We hope that through this tournament, students will be able to grow both as debaters and as global citizens.
