Youth Speaks: A Debate

This competition is designed to encourage the development of creativity and presentation skills essential to the art of public speaking.

This has been demonstrated by the enthusiasm of students from the many schools who previously have participated in Youth Speaks.

In teams of three, participants present arguments and points of discussion, before taking questions from the judging panel who are, themselves, skilled orators. Presentations last for 15 minutes.

Participants can select a topic which is important to them, giving them an opportunity to delve deep into research, formulate ideas and build confidence.

The Rotary Youth Speaks: A Debate competition is run over the course of a school year, in two or three different heats; club level, district, regional and national final which will be held over the weekend of 20th/21st April 2024
