World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Competition - Coach & Chaperone Registration

The World is Coming to Canada

The best student debaters and public speakers in the world are coming to Canada for the first time in history.

Branksome Hall is proud to host the 31st World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Competition in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from April 11 to 16.

More than a hundred high school debaters and public speakers from around the globe will compete in four challenging categories: debate, interpretive reading, impromptu speaking and either after-dinner speaking or persuasive speaking.

Competitors will rank among the world’s very best student debaters and public speakers — having already proven themselves at local, regional, national and international tournaments. They’ll arrive in Toronto seeking the ultimate prize: the title of world champion.
