ELOQUENTIA: Launch of Public-Speaking Program in Marseille

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
NGO Name: Eloquentia  -  Location: France

THE CHALLENGE

Today's French youth is impacted by societal tensions. Furthermore, students in underserved areas often feel detached from school and lack self-confidence and the ability to express their ambitions and desires, leading to school dropout.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The project aims to create strong social ties and promote a harmonious society through a culture of dialogue, civic debate and self-expression and respect. The program tackles the following subjects: development of self-confidence, development of a culture of debate and healthy discussion, discovery of a different way of learning through collective learning, collaboration towards a common goal and personal development and expression of a future project. 

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

The art of speaking is a beautiful thing that allows us to gather through convictions and to discover each other, our limitations and our strengths.
