Inter-School Environment Public Speaking 2015 |
|---|
|
Last week, I took part as a speaker in the Inter-School Environment Public Speaking Contest 2015 hosted by Emirates Envirnmental Group.
Commitment towards positive environmental change is not an easy task. However, it is possible to instill that awareness into the students, the future. The year of 2015 is opening a new page towards sustainable development in the country. The UAE is committing to facilitating a global transformation to Green Economy. Thus, once again,like every year, EEG threw an open challenge to the student community across the country inviting them to build and present strong cases on different contemporary issues and questions relating to the environment. A panel of environmental and bi-lingual experts were invited to evaluate the performance of the students on a pre-defined criteria. It was an excellent opportunity for students to showcase environmental knowledge and talent they possess, and use the platform as a good tool to share and exchange ideas amongst students from government and private schools. The event had encompassed a multitude of topics such as:- 1. Environment and Development: Conflict or Harmony? 2. Sustainability Our Responsibility: it?s no longer an option! 3. From Global to Local: Environmental Regulation & Economic Integration! 4. Overpopulation vs. Overconsumption: where should we focus? Such excellently chosen and well-thought-out topics really urged us students to put on our thinking caps and bring out our orating talent. The students in the audience also engaged in asking quetions to the speaker and thus, at the end, everyone had a clear understanding of the topics discussed and the topics could be easily grasped by the enthusiastic audience. I am certain countless students went home that day, with enhanced public speaking skills and with a widened horizon of knowledge on the crucial environmental issues our world is facing and possible solutions. Hence, all these aspects made the event a fruitful one!

@Arushi Indeed! Public speaking not only highlights and emboldens the topic of the speech in the minds of the audience but also helps in the personality grooming of the speaker. Thanks for the comment:)

Thanks for sharing your experience, Manav. Such public speaking competitions not only develop one's public speaking skills but also adds to knowledge about environment issues and makes everyone there think and discuss in solidarity on environment.

From what I can see from the pictures, I'm in no doubt that you spoke very well. part of the problem young people have is that they are afraid to speak in public, hence, when they see something going wrong, they can't even express their feelings and thus keep quiet.
The EEG killed two birds with one stone because they not only created the awareness on sustainable environment but also encouraged and introduced the students to public speaking.
