NAO Cup — debate tournament (Japanese theme)
Three qualifying rounds, then a semi-final and a final, run in Russian. Resolutions follow the Japanese theme, there is a prize for the best costume and one for best speaker, and lunch is included. Open to students who have never debated before as well as to those who have.
- Humanities & Social Sciences
- Law
- Business & Economics
- Who can enter
- School students — no debating experience required, first-timers welcome
- What it costs
- The announcement lists a certificate, food during the event and cash prizes, but does not say whether there is an entry fee — ask on the registration form before counting on either answer.
- When it closes
- Aug 14, 2026 — One day — 14 August 2026, Sunkar School, Shymkent
Sending this to someone sends the four facts above, not just a name — they will see who can enter and what it costs before they decide.
