Participants will also focus on global issues as they debate the Russian invasion of Ukraine, hate speech and homophobia, and other pressing global issues as students get to grips with real-life world issues.

Director of schools, Cork Education and Training Board, Pat McKelvey, said Cork ETB was proud to support such an esteemed event which has proven to be an invaluable learning experience for students over the years.
