What is 'Youth Speaks'?

The Rotary organisation in the UK encourages speaking and presentation skills in young people and we are pleased that schools seem to agree. The Rotary GB&I Youth Speaks competition continues to go from strength to strength each year, producing some superb quality speakers in our young people aged from 11 to 18.

Members of the public are welcome at the heats and finals.
