Public Speaking Workshop + Pizza | PoliticsClub x JongTNO
Dear Jong TNOers,
The Politics Club would like to invite you to a Public Speaking Workshop.
In the previous Debating Workshop, the focus was on crafting strong arguments for and against a proposition, whereas this workshop centers on presenting your proposal or speech in an appealing manner and 'Speech like Obama'.
How do you ensure that audience members remember your speech? How do you get the public enthusiastic about your proposal? How do you generate applause? If you look at the greatest speakers in human history, you will see that they all use the same means to do this. In this workshop we will practice these tricks. From now on you will always get applause when you speak in public.
