A grounding in public speaking
Rotary Youth Speaks, another long-standing nationwide competition run by Rotary across the country, aims at giving young people an experience in public speaking that will benefit them forever.
Teams are drawn from senior schools and, depending on their age, compete in junior, intermediate or senior categories. Each team has three members – chairperson, proposer and opposer – who have 15 minutes to debate a subject of the team’s choice.
