Registration is now open for the 14th TIDE
October 21 through November 20, 2026In this course, your students can learn how to present arguments, refute them, and speak in public, and ultimately compete in the final debate at the Spanish Senate.
The Intermunicipal School Debate Tournament is an educational project free for students in 4th year of ESO and 1st year of Bachillerato public, charter, and private schools in Madrid, Las Rozas, Pozuelo de Alarcón, Majadahonda, Boadilla del Monte, and Galapagar.
It's not just a competition. It includes training for teachers and judges, hands-on sessions for students in each municipality, and an exhibition debate on December 11. The qualifying round takes place from April 9–11, 2027 on the UFV campus.
One team per center. We prioritize participation from as many schools as possible. If there is still space available, additional teams will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis; please indicate this on the registration form.
