- include a training workshop and adjudication test
- feature a board meeting with representatives from all African debate institutions, to build a cooperative framework to promote debate
We are very grateful for the support of The Youth Initiative and the African Regional Office of the Open Society Institute (OSI who will subsidize half the registration fee of all the participants; our organizing partners, the University of Botswana, Mokolodi Nature reserve and Phakalene Golf resort and all the others who have supported us in the past and continue to give us strength.

England have won the 2008 World Schools Debating Championships in Washington, DC after beating New Zealand in the Final. South Africa were unfortunate to lose to Greece in the semi-finals, after beating Hong Kong in the octos. The South African team have done exceptionally well, however, both as a team and individually. Daniel Kaliski, from Herzlia in the Western Cape, was ranked 9th in the World in terms of speaker rankings. No information is yet available about the ranking of the other SA speakers. The top ten speakers were: 10. Hugh Burns (IRELAND)
9. Daniel Kaliski (SOUTH AFRICA)
8. Sian Ni Mhuiri (IRELAND)
7. Emily Chalk (AUSTRALIA)
6. Sam Greene (CANADA)
5. Ben Woolgar (ENGLAND)
4. Holly Jenkins (NEW ZEALAND)
3. Chris Bisset (AUSTRALIA)
2. Ben Kornfeld (NEW ZEALAND)
1. Jen Savage (NEW ZEALAND) |
