Liga de Debate CICAE-UCJC 2026
**Liga de Debate CICAE-UCJC 2026** is a high-school competitive debating tournament held on January 23, 2026, in Zaragoza, Spain. Participants engage in structured debate on assigned motions, developing argumentation, evidence analysis, and rebuttal skills while competing against other schools. Debaters construct cases, cross-examine opponents, and are evaluated by judges on logical reasoning, persuasiveness, and adherence to debate rules.
Why it matters
For high-school students, this event offers a chance to practice structured argumentation, public speaking, and rebuttal in a live, in-person setting. It can be a valuable experience for delegates looking to strengthen analytical thinking and confidence under pressure.
Because it brings students together around competitive debate, it also creates an opportunity to engage with peers who share similar academic interests. Attending can help delegates build experience that supports future debate, MUN, or other speaking-based activities.
How to prepare
Start by sharpening the core debate skills that apply across formats: building clear claims, supporting them with evidence, anticipating rebuttals, and delivering concise speeches. Practice defending both sides of a motion so you are comfortable responding flexibly during rounds.
It is also worth preparing for the practical demands of an in-person tournament. Rehearse timed speaking, flowing or note-taking, and quick team coordination so you can stay organized and confident on the day of the event.
