English Youth Speaks

Rotary GB&I English Youth Speaks

The Rotary Youth Speaks Competition is a well-established and successful competition organised and promoted by Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland.  It is a four-stage competition which is designed to support and encourage the development of effective communication skills. Some stages may have more than one round.

The aim of Youth Speaks is to offer young people:

• experience in speaking on a public platform as a member of a team
• an incentive to formulate ideas on topical subjects
• 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

For the various stage competition dates and locations please see the Competition Timetable

All enquiries regarding the competition should be addressed to Brian Pippen
