LSE Juniors 2019

LSE Juniors 2019

Following the success of LSE Schools, this year we are introducing our new competition which is exclusively for Year 10 and unders. This will focus on the development of young debaters by giving them a chance to debate in a competition specifically aimed at their age group and experience level. We hope this provides a valuable opportunity which is not otherwise available in the London circuit.

We are delighted to invite you to this competition which will take place on Saturday 12th January 2019. It is open to all school students in Year 10 and below and will consist of three rounds breaking to a final. The day will be finished by 6pm and lunch will be provided. The registration fee is £30 per team. We have an experienced group of judges and organisers who are read to make this day as engaging, constructive and enjoyable as possible.

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN. Please register teams at the following link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScTnwEyYzgF1Wp4RS5ekKbqUZj-25LcZEjxbRn2Utpuvlq0nQ/viewform.

We will also be offering the exciting opportunity for older students to come along and judge LSE Juniors. Judging alongside experienced university debaters will be an incredibly useful development opportunity to learn about how debates are adjudicated and to see debate competitions from a new angle.
