In partnership with the English-Speaking Union (ESU) and The International Churchill Society (ICS), The City of London (COL) hosted a virtual Debating Tournament on Tuesday 27 April 2021 with eight schools (within the Family of Schools). The tournament took place for Year 8 and 9 pupils only.
The tournament followed the Extended Mace Format. There were six speakers in this format: one team of three people on each side. There is a useful PowerPoint guide to the format attached below, as well as other materials. You can also find links to the training sessions and Debating Tournament.
