SCHOLARSHIPS:
We will kindly invite university debaters, professors, teachers, trainers, judges, organizers to apply for scholarships for IDAS 2013. We have no funds as of yet, but we are working to obtain someone. In 2011 & 2012 funds were provided with the generous support of Global Debates, Youth Initiative at Open Society Fund, www.soros.org/grants/global-debates and IDEA, www.idebate.org
Following the funder’s guidelines we will prioritize scholarships to allow participants from weak/non-existing debate communities in the region to attend. The scholarships would go toward registration fees for participants from the region and will be awarded for the participation at the whole program, not tournament only. It is expected that the participants partly cover the participation fees, which means there will be no scholarship awarded to cover the participation fees 100%. When deciding about the scholarship grants we will prioritize the applicants who have never participated at IDAS before.
GET THE SCHOLARSHIP FORM LATER
TOURNAMENT ONLY - 80 Euros: six round tournament (last year 60 teams from 24 countries) breaks to quarterfinals, food and room in Ljubljana, break night party. Limited crash available for tournament.
