Soroptimist Public Speaking Competition

The UWA Women's Department and Soroptimist International WA are hosting a public speaking competition.

Soroptimists aim to improve the lives of women and girls through awareness, advocacy and action. This competition embodies both the awareness and advocacy aspects. It will be an opportunity for UWA students to learn about Soroptimism and the projects that are happening in each club.

Public speaking is a core skill for the twenty-first century. It’s the most impactful way to share who you are and what you care about. It is an opportunity to inform, educate and persuade those around you. Effective public speaking requires confidence, engagement and articulation. These are all vital leadership skills.

We would like to provide women with an opportunity to develop their public speaking skills and speak about the issues that they are passionate about. A panel of judges will be carefully selected and will be able to provide competitors with feedback after the competition.
