Critical thinking is a focus of our Public Speaking Academy program where young orators learn to develop and refine their arguments over the course of one year.

Meet our public speaking student Gurkaram!  Gurkaram was new to public speaking this year but has already engaged in classical debate, studied logical reasoning and fallaciesand has been inspired by critical analyses of famous historical speeches. He also recently joined us at Speakers Slam at the CBC Glen Gould Studio!

Gurkaram: We are so proud that you have taken a risk to expand your critical thinking skills through public speaking! We can’t wait to see what you achieve!
