Youth Speaks

We actively encourage local schools to participate in this project to develop confidence in public speaking.


In teams of three, participants present arguments and points of discussion, before taking questions from the judging panel who are, themselves, skilled orators. Participants can select a topic which is important to them, giving them an opportunity to delve deep into research, formulate ideas and build confidence.
