Youth Speaks

This competition is designed to encourage young people to develop the creative and presentation skills essential to the art of public speaking.


This competition aims to offer young people:

• experience in speaking on a public platform 

• an incentive to formulate ideas on topical subjects and to present these to an audience

• discipline in dealing with a topic in a limited time

• the opportunity of learning and practising high standards of expression, presentation and

appearance

• impartial feedback and assessment of performance by experienced adjudicators 

But above all to have fun and experience an opportunity to develop a life skill for the future!
