Qatar Toastmasters is one of the 12000 Toastmasters Clubs, meeting in more than 80 countries worldwide, including more than 200 Clubs in GCC countries. Toastmasters is a non-profit organization dedicated to the development of communication and leadership skills for adults as well as children. Toastmasters provide a cordial and congenial atmosphere for men and women of all nationalities and professions to develop these skills in the style of a workshop.
As a part of our community service, every year, we train children and the youth of today to face the world of tomorrow by helping them to develop their leadership and public speaking skills. Each year we conduct the coveted Qatar Open contest in English for the students between the 13-18 age group. This much-awaited contest is conducted by Qatar Toastmasters Club every year and the dates are announced well in advance.
Speech contests provide an opportunity to gain experience and improve skills in the art of public speaking. The speech contest also serves as an interesting educational tool for the audience as well as speakers.
We at Qatar Toastmasters believe that by reaching out to the youth, we are passing on the benefits we derive from being Toastmasters.
There are no restrictions in the number of participants from each school and are open for everyone to participate in the age group of 13 to 18 years.
Toastmasters International believes that every young person has the potential to become a good communicator and leader, and the Youth Leadership program was designed to develop that potential through practical experience.
