The Swing Team, consisting of Cloe Rivas, Elena Delgado, and Julio Alcantara from 4th ESO.A, B, and C, also participated in the tournament.
The tournament was a great success, and all the teams put up an impressive performance. Our team, IES Virgen del Carmen, showcased excellent debating skills and made it to the finals, where they narrowly missed out on the top spot.
A special mention goes to Alicia Cano for winning the award for Best English Speaker in Jaén and the province. This is a testament to her hard work and dedication to improving her English skills.
