Travel arrangements for participants to attend the World Scholars Cup Global Round in Barcelona, Spain have now been finalised. The event takes place from July 21-29.
Several of our club members qualified for the Global Round during the Lusaka Regional Round in February. For conveneice and to achive economy of scale, travel is being arranged together with the teams from Rhodes Park School.
This is a unique opportunity for children to travel and be exposed to one of the Globe’s leading academic events, where they will join over 3,000 scholars from over 50 countries and will experience the full range of competitive team events as well as community-building events such as the Debate Showcase, scavenger hunts, keynote speeches, panel discussions, and the signature Scholar’s Bowl. Every participant will walk away with new friends, new discoveries, and very large alpacas—and all participating teams will be able to apply or even prequalify for spots at the year-end Tournament of Champions at Yale University, USA.
The tour will also provide some relaxing moments away from the competition venues as pupils will have a chance to visit some of the tourist attractions of Barcelona.
Details of the tour have been given in the Parent Information Guides circulated to Parents and Guardians last month.
