This year, the debate revolved around the following topic: Should governments have control over the media? The activity was aimed at students willing to improve their communication skills in relation to public speaking, which is a highly valued skill among university students. Joining the Debate League can be a fun way to enhance public speaking competences.
  
For those of you who would like to participate in the activity, you must register as part of a team made up of a minimum of 2 students up to a maximum of 5. Each team will adopt a position in favour of or against a current topic. To do so, first you need to fill in this form (registration period ends on 8 February 2017). The participating students will be able to apply for 2 ECTS credits in recognition of their participation in the debates.
 
The competition will be made up of one or more debates between the teams, depending on the number of registered teams. After the registration period, the Debate League regulations will be given out to each team’s spokesperson so that all teams have the chance of properly preparing their contribution to the debate. The winning team will be representing the UAB in the University Debate League organised by the Xarxa Vives d’Universitats from 25 to 29 April.
