Public speaking is a long-standing tradition at Paradis International College, and it plays a central role in our co-curricular program. These activities are designed for all age groups, from preschool to high school, and offer students opportunities to develop essential life skills: speaking confidently in front of an audience, building strong arguments, presenting persuasively, and sharing their opinions.

In kindergarten, for instance, children participate in an activity where they present their personal passions to their classmates. From second to fifth grade, students have the chance to practice their public speaking during the Speakers’ Corner event, where they present their views on topics like freedom or leadership.

From sixth grade to high school, students compete in the Public Speaking International Competition, organized annually by the English Speaking Union Romania. Here, participants deliver a speech on a given topic and are judged on various criteria, including intonation, non-verbal communication, and content.
