Our students took part in a debate tournament on international intervention and stood out for their commitment and preparation.
During TDXperience 2026, our students took part in a debate tournament centred on the question: “Should a state be allowed to intervene in another country when it considers its national security to be at risk?”. This issue was the central theme of the debates and invited participants to defend opposing positions.
Our students prepared thoroughly for both sides of the motion, working on strong arguments, well-supported evidence and engaging openings designed to capture the attention of the audience and the jury.
All three Xaloc teams advanced past the initial stage of the tournament and qualified for the final phase, competing against thirteen other teams. The 3rd year of ESO team was eliminated in the round of sixteen by Camp Joliu, but delivered a very commendable performance, especially considering it was their first year participating.
The 4th year of ESO team had an outstanding run: they defeated Xaloc’s 1st year of Bachillerato team in the round of sixteen, beat La Vall’s 4th year of ESO team in the quarter-finals and overcame Pineda’s Bachillerato team in the semi-finals. In the final, against La Vall’s Bachillerato team, they were unable to secure the win, but the jury praised the quality of their interventions and acknowledged that they “made the decision very difficult”.
We are very pleased with the experience, feeling that our students learned and improved significantly thanks to their participation in this debate tournament as part of TDXperience 2026.
