ConocoPhillips World Schools Debate Development

Through the ConocoPhillips World Schools Debate Development Endowment Fund, EducationMatters is pleased to support the development of new and/or the enhancement of existing debate club activity within Junior and Senior High Schools in Calgary.

Currently, EducationMatters has $2,900 available to distribute for this purpose for the 2022/2023 school year. Preference will be given to the development of new debate programs or events, prior to supporting pre-existing events. Development of new virtual events is eligible, even if the club/program is not new.

Schools are invited to submit requests for this funding by answering the following questions and hitting the submit button by Friday December 2, 2022:
