Youth Speaks

If, as a school group etc  you are interested in participating in this competition next year, please contact your local Rotary club in the first instance. Clubs can be found via this website. Not every club participates, but they will direct you to a club that does.

Rotarians who need help or guidance to organise your club or area round, please contact the Youth Speaks District Organiser - link below. It will be helpful to the organiser to have an early indication from clubs thinking of participating. Competition dates will be published here when known, but as a guide, club rounds need to run by mid January. The District round is generally around February or early March, followed by Region in March or April, and then RGBI in May.

For 2022, the competition is cancelled. Coronavirus restrictions, and with it the very practical difficulties of engaging with schools (who additionally have so much else to contend with) has regrettably forced this conclusion. However, clubs are at liberty to run the competition if they wish - but please bear in mind the comments as above, and complete a careful risk assessment.

Thought is being given to an alternative-form competition for later in the Rotary year. This might be a Zoom, Teams, or similar presentation. Any club interested should register their interest with the Distict organiser, Mark Philpot. Contact details below.
