About the event
The Makuhari Invitational Cup (MIC) is a premier high school English debate tournament, bringing together top debaters from Japan and abroad. The competition will feature North American Parliamentary (NA) format, with both Novice and Open divisions.
Our mission is two-fold: 1) Raise the standard of debate in Japan by connecting international and Japanese students. 2) Support global education by donating 100% of participant application fees to Room to Read, a non-profit promoting literacy and gender equality in education.
Why should you sponsor?
Your support will: - Promote English education in Japan by enabling cross-cultural exchange through competitive debate. - Showcase your brand to a national and international audience of motivated students, teachers, and debate alumni. - Support a social cause – all application fees go to Room to Read. - Associate your brand with academic excellence, global awareness, and youth empowerment.
