Welcome to the website for the African Schools Debating Championships! This tournament aims to bring together the top students from across South Africa, and teams from countries from all over Africa, to participate in critical dialogue. They will compete in a debating tournament while at the same time, the public and students will be invited to engage on topical issues with prominent members of business, government and civil society. With the immense support of FNB, Umsobomvu Youth Fund and St John's College, the ASDC is set to become the premier youth dialogue event on the continent! We hope you will be joining us between 29 April and 3 May 2008 at St John's!
