WeVoi – The Speaking Contest

WeVoi – The Speaking Contest

WeVoi logo

It takes just one voice to spark change.

WeVoi is a global platform for young speakers aged 6 to 18. It lets them share ideas, inspire others and present their own perspectives. Through online speaking challenges, participants build communication skills and confidence.

Public speaking is more than talking to an audience. WeVoi develops five areas: content, clarity, structure, language mastery and stage presence. Participants record a short online video on the topic for their age category and submit it. They can earn a medal and qualify for the WeVoi Summit.

WeVoi is open to young people worldwide. It helps students speak and inspire, learn and grow, connect with peers internationally, and share different ideas and perspectives.

  • Can you be seen and heard?
  • Is it well structured?
