Sienna Loo ‘25 Qualifies for Top 32 in International Speech and Debate Competition

Created as a partnership between Branksome Hall, an independent IB World School, and Toronto’s Munk Debates, dedicated to promoting civil and substantive public debate, Re:Solved is designed for students aged 13-18 to fuel their interest and participation in global competitive public speaking and debate.

Re:Solved asks students to create and upload a six to eight minute persuasive speech on a given topic. These are judged by adults from all over the world and the top 32 students are then selected to enter the debate phase, which will culminate in a four-person final debate in Toronto in April 2024.

The them for this year’s Re:Solved competition is the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
