Effective Speaking 2022
Effective Speaking Competition – 2022
The competitions for the 2022 year will again be held virtually.
There are no rules for which platform to use at the squadron level; just do your best with resources you have. We are more focused on participation than quality at local levels.
Zones – April 2 and 3rd time TBD – if you have a date preference please indicate in your email to Leslie
Saskatchewan Provincial Effective Speaking Competition – Saturday, April 9th
National Air Cadet Effective Speaking Competition – Saturday, June 4
**ACC54’s need to be completed before cadets compete in squadron competition. They are online this year (paper version not accepted)
Here are the topics for 2022:
- How can the Air Cadet experience be made more engaging in the post Covid world?
- Because we are seeing a heightened interest and travel into space, what do you see as the future of space travel?
- Should every student be required to learn at least one additional language?
- Should classes about mental health and wellness be added to school curriculum?
- What is the biggest current threat to the environment and how would you suggest we remedy it?
- Is effective speaking still relevant today in a society where social networks dictate the pace of information?
- Why is it important for youth to be engaged & involved in truth & reconciliation?
- What is the impact of social media on youth?
- What are the biggest challenges facing youth today?
