Debate with Cambridge Union Society and LearningLeaders

The Cambridge Asia British Parliamentary Championships (CABP) is hosted each year by the Cambridge Union Society (CUS) and LearningLeaders (LL). Together, the two organizations represent organizations with some of the greatest capabilities, history, and experience hosting premier quality debate events including the World Schools Debating League (WSDL).

All CABP events are non-profit. 100% of proceeds are allocated to host the events, secure top quality adjudicators, and to provide scholarships for students who are unable to pay full registration fees.

Follow in their footsteps

Last year's winners, Ateneo de Manila Senior High School, were the first Asian team to win the Cambridge Schools competition, after qualifying as winners of the CABP South East Asia Championship.

We chatted with them about their journey, from Zoom debates in their rooms all the way to the famous Cambridge Union debating chamber.

Reviews From Past CABP Competitors

We compete in many tournaments. However, none of them provide us with a debating experience quite like LearningLeaders' (LL's) tournaments do. LL's tournaments always guarantee high-quality judging and feedback.

My teammate and I really enjoyed participating in the CABP ASIA tournament, and felt like it was an incredibly enriching experience to be able to compete with teams from across the continent.

We thought it would be just another online tournament, as that's what we've been used to. It was even more unreal that we were able to go to the UK in person - it's a really big deal to make it that far!
