CINES CALLAO, VENUE FOR THE FINAL OF THE WORLD UNIVERSITY DEBATING CHAMPIONSHIP 2023

On 3 January, Cines Callao hosted the final of the 42nd edition of the World Universities Debating Championship (WUDC 2023). An exciting competition that took place throughout the day in our theatres 1 and 2 and which was won by the team from the debating society of the Ateneo de Manila University in the Philippines.

 This is the first time that Spain has hosted this championship which, on this occasion, was attended by nearly a thousand young people from more than 300 universities of at least 50 different nationalities.

The format of the competition was the so-called British Parliamentary (BP), in which topics designed by an academic team are discussed and which the participants are familiar with just 15 minutes before the start of the debate.
