What happens at our meetings?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
Our meetings are structured, interactive and designed to help members learn by doing<\/strong>. Each meeting has a theme and is divided into three main parts: prepared speeches, table topics, and evaluations. Together, they give members the opportunity to express themselves, think on their feet and learn from one another in a supportive environment.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

01. Prepared Speeches<\/h4>

Members prepare speeches in advance and present them during the meeting. Usually, two to four speakers take the floor, sharing their ideas, stories or experiences while working on different communication skills as part of their Toastmasters Pathways project.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

02. Table Topics<\/h4>

Table Topics is Toastmasters' impromptu speaking session.\nParticipants are given a question or topic and invited to speak about it for one to two minutes, with a 30 seconds preparation time. It's a fun way to practise thinking on your feet, organize your thoughts and express yourself in the moment. Guests can join in too, if they feel comfortable.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

03. Evaluations<\/h4>

Every prepared speech, impromptu speech, and other role receives feedback from another member. Evaluators highlight what worked well and offer suggestions to help the speaker improve. We also reflect on the meeting as a whole and how it went.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
