📢 Exciting Update: Public Speaking Competition Grand Finale Prep! 🎤

The journey to the first-ever Public Speaking Competition Grand Finale in Malawi is heating up! 🔥

Today, our brilliant finalists from various secondary schools across Blantyre gathered at the Raphael Tenthani Conference Centre for an exclusive coaching session led by none other than Mr. Andrew Kaponya, the StoryLab Coordinator from the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences (MUBAS).

Under his expert guidance, the young orators honed their skills, refined their speeches, and gained invaluable tips to captivate the audience and judges at the Grand Finale! 🏆

The energy, passion, and determination in the room were truly inspiring. These students are not just preparing to speak—they’re preparing to inspire, persuade, and lead!

Stay tuned for the big day as we witness Malawi’s next generation of confident and articulate speakers take the stage! 🎙️✨



📅 Save the Date: 20 June 2025
📍 Venue: Golden Peackock Hotel Blantyre
