Six high schools in Granollers have participated in the fourth edition of the Debate League, an oratory competition that this year posed the question: "Should humor have limits?".

A total of twelve teams, composed of 5 to 7 students from 4th year of ESO and Baccalaureate, have tested their communication, argumentation, and critical thinking skills. The competition, adapting the format of the Xarxa Vives Debate League, aims to foster transversal competencies and promote Catalan as the vehicular language.
The participating institutions include Celestí Bellera, Carles Vallbona, Antoni Cumella, Marta Estrada, the Escola Municipal del Treball (EMT), and the Escola Pia de Granollers, along with the Escola Pia de Caldes.
The Granollers-based entity Enraonar has collaborated in the organization, serving on the jury alongside other volunteers. The league seeks to encourage the use of speech and critical thinking among young people.
This year's winner is the Escola Pia de Caldes, which defeated the Institut Celestí Bellera in the final. The awarded teams received tickets to shows at the Teatre Auditori de Granollers.
