We are proud to partner with St George's Preparatory School to bring our primary school debating program to the Eastern Cape.
Join us on 12 October 2023 from 14:00 to 17:30.
Entry is open to Grades 4-7.
Program Overview
We will start the tournament with an orientation session for our adjudication panel and participants. We'll start with the basics, so no prior debate experience is needed.
We'll have two competitive debates. We'll work with teachers to create a supportive environment that encourages experimentation.
We will recognize the achievements of our new debaters with an awards ceremony. We'll award trophies and medals to our top teams and individuals.
