World Speech Day 2022 Topic Announced
World Speech Day is an annual event for speakers in over 100 countries.
- Orlando, FL (1888PressRelease) February 24, 2022 - World Speech Day 2022 will be held on Tuesday, March 15th. Student speakers from America's schools and colleges will be joining with speakers from over 100 countries to speak on the topic: “A New Harmony.”
According to Simon Gibson, Founder of World Speech Day, “In the face of so much turmoil, uncertainty, and hardship, public speaking can be utilized to search for and share ideas for a new beginning, a new harmony that can help us explore new paths to a better world.”
Simon Gibson launched World Speech Day at the Athens Democracy Forum in 2015. The idea came from Simon’s work in establishing a free database for contemporary and historical speeches. During this work, it became clear that speeches change the world, socially, politically, in the arts, business, and religion. They play a profound role in holding our societies together and shaping change. The plan was to form a day to celebrate speeches and speech making through live public speaking events worldwide, reaching out to #unexpectedvoices everywhere.
In 2020 more than 100 nations have been involved in World Speech Day. Schools, universities, speakers’ clubs, think tanks, community groups, companies, NGOs, all holding meetings in classrooms, auditoriums, community halls, even cafes, proving the unique power of speeches to explore new ideas.
