Applications are now open to TY, 5th and 6th Years for the FAS Public Speaking Competition. Loreto Foxrock’s Helen Shang (6th Year) was a finalist in the competition last year.
The competition advertises itself as follows:
“FÁS is a student-founded competition, aimed at helping senior students grow in confidence by tackling Ireland’s biggest fear; public speaking. In today’s world, the need for confident, clear and compelling public speaking is ever growing, and through our competition, we aim to foster a comfortable and competent attitude to the field. FÁS was founded on the acronym “Ag Foghlaim, Ag Áitiú, Ag Samhlú,” meaning “Learning, Persuading, Imagining.” These three words represent the core values that FÁS was built on. We aim to grant students an environment in which they can grow their abilities in public speaking in a fun and engaging manner, while also encouraging a healthy competitive spirit.”
