The Student Affairs and Professional Development Office of the College of Europe in Natolin was pleased to organise a workshop titled: "Public Speaking and Speech Writing" led by Prof. Adam ŁAZOWSKI, Visiting Professor and Scientific Coordinator of the European Neighbourhood Chair and Mr Anis ISSA, Head of the Student Affairs and Professional Development Office.
Effective public speaking is a vital component of an institution’s strategic communication, enabling officials to convey key messages, influence public perception, and engage with stakeholders. A well-structured speech, tailored to its audience and context, enhances credibility while ensuring clarity and impact. Therefore, it is essential to equip students with these skills.
This practical workshop introduced students to the fundamentals of writing and delivering speeches, providing hands-on techniques and valuable insights to help them become confident and effective speakers and speechwriters in their future careers.
