About WUDC
The World Universities Debating Championship, often called Worlds, is the largest debate tournament in the world. Hundreds of university teams debate in British Parliamentary style, with 15 minutes of prep for each motion.
Motions from a community motion archive, credited to the tournament. Prep notes are written by the Debatery Editing Team to help you start thinking; they are not the only way to run either side.
