Antonio Fabregat, Debate and Oratory teacher at SEK Ciudalcampo and Academic Director of the CICAE- UCJC Debate League has been taken first place for the third consecutive at the 2018 World Universities Debating Championship, this year held in Mexico.
The World Universities Debating Championship (WUDC), is the most prestigious tournament of its kind in the world and is held annually.
The Championship has been held since 1981 in a different host country each year for over thirty years running. The tournament brings together students from some of the best universities in the world at a single event. The 2017 edition, held in the Netherlands, featured over 400 teams from around 90 countries.
The tournament lasts a week and has the highest level of competitive debate in the world. The meetings are held in a regulated format called British Parliamentary style – based on debates in the British House of Commons. In it, four teams compete against each other in two opposing factions, with a topic and an imposed position, of which the teams are informed fifteen minutes before the start of the debate.
