Special to the Vanguard
The Davis Speech & Debate Team and Ascend Speech & Debate, a leading California-based speech and debate camp, invite you and your family members to attend a free and fun public speaking workshop at Davis Senior High School on Saturday April 29, 2023 from 12:00pm to 4:00pm that will teach foundational public speaking skills to K-12 students and community members in the Davis and broader Sacramento area. We firmly believe that any voice can change the world and want to empower everyone to overcome their fear of public speaking. With the growing role of artificial intelligence in our society, we believe that communication skills like public speaking will be increasingly important in the careers of the future.
