The African Renaissance Ambassador (ARA) Debates is truly the African
School Event of the Year. Each Debate is an opportunity for high school
students to discuss and debate serious African and global issues. Students
at participating schools will first organize a public debate at their school
and ask other students to vote on who won the debate. All four-person
debate teams (plus two educators) will then compete in the national final
with other high schools within a specific country.
