The League of Debate for Secondary Schools is a ludic and training competition so that students from fourth year in high school and upper secondary school learn to speak in public, work in teams and defend different positionings regarding a topic -both in favour and against- using Catalan as their lingua franca. Students had to register in one of the universities from the Vives Network and joined other participants from the same university. In the UB, the activity was organized by the Student Support Services (SAE), with the support of the Vice-rectorʼs Office for Students and Language Policy, and the UB Debate Association (ADUB).

This fifth edition of the League of Debate of the UB gathered a total of 118 students from twenty-four centers from the province of Barcelona, who debated on the topic "Does technology increase happiness?".
