ESU becomes founding sponsor of the World Schools Debating Championships

The ESU today announced that it would fund the executive of the World Schools Debating Championships in its bid to incorporate as a registered charity. The ESU and World Schools have a long and close history - in 1999 the ESU in London hosted what was at the time the largest Championships ever held, and has been responsible for selecting, training and funding the England team since the mid 1990s. Other ESUs around the world also have or have had important relationships with World Schools - including Scotland, Pakistan and Mongolia.

The funding will allow the tournament to create a central legal body to aid in fundraising and to provide support for national hosts of the Championships.
