‘Speech’, they say, is the best gift to the human race. Being social creatures, the ability to communicate with the world is something that makes us unique amongst all other creatures. It enables us to express our emotions and thoughts, share our ideas and develop new relationships.
When you speak coherently, especially in front of an audience, it helps you hone your presentation skills. Today, students are required to give presentations in the form of academic projects.
Who wouldn’t love to influence people around them? History suggests that famous leaders have always been capable of influencing or instigating masses thanks to their power of great articulation.
To be a leader, you must possess excellent public speaking skills.
When you share your ideas, standing on the dais and speak with authority, you capture the attention of your audience and are able to persuade others.
When you give a speech in front of the public, it can help you develop your vocabulary. It even brings fluency in the speech. You will know it by yourself the effect of the words that you speak and when you are going wrong you can figure it out. Public speaking can also help you understand the need of speaking differently among different audiences.
Public speakers motivate their listeners to make a change. It could be to stop or start something, try something new, or reach their goals.

Through community service, students gain real-world experience and practice important habits like leadership, problem-solving, and time management. Volunteering offers students the opportunity to apply their classroom learning to practical scenarios that have real implications.
Studies show that students who give back to the community perform better in school, particularily in subjects such as math, reading, and history. Furthermore, students who participate in community service are also more likely to graduate from high school.

World Scholar's Cup is a premier international academic event attracting students from all over the world, resulting in "a global community of future scholars and leaders".
The World's Scholar Cup (abbreviated WSC) is an international team academic program with more than 15,000 students participating from over 65 countries every year.
Each WSC Round consists of four main events: the Scholar's Challenge, Collaborative Writing, The Team Debate, and the Scholar's Bowl. In addition to these four main events, non-competitive activities take place which are both social and academic.
There are 4 key challenges as part of the India Round
Team Debate - Each team debates three times, on motions across all the subjects, from policy to poetry. You may be arguing whether parents should have access to surveillance cameras at schools - or whether women make better superheroes. Debate is your chance to apply all that you've learned to make the most persuasive case you can. And, win or not, after each debate, you'll give the other team feedback on how to improve.
Scholar's Bowl - Every team in the theater. Every team with a clicker. Every question harder than the one before. Your team will work together to solve analytic questions and multimedia challenges. Click your answers before time runs out, and don't be surprised if you're asked to connect a poem you studied to a clip from your favourite TV Show
Collaborative Writing - Speak with the power of your pen (or pencil!) You'll be given six prompts, from each of the six subject areas, ranging from creative scenarios to explore to persuasive arguments to make. Two easy rules to remember: as a team you only need to write three of the six, and each of you needs to answer a different prompt.
Scholar's Challenge - It's multiple choice, so make multiple choices. The Challenge looks like any other test, but with an alpaca-powered twist: you can mark more than one answer per question. The fewer you mark; the more points you can earn if you're right.
The World Scholars Cup is highly recommended for students aged 10 and above.
