The Power of the Voice: Famous Speeches and the Evolution of Communication

The Power of the Voice: Famous Speeches and the Evolution of Communication

• The Art of Rhetoric: How We Persuade: Introduce the three pillars of a great speech: Ethos (credibility), Pathos (emotional connection), and Logos (logical argument). Discuss how these tools are still used today to inspire and lead.
• Echoes of History: Speeches That Moved Nations: Analyze specific moments where a single speech changed the course of history. You might look at the calming influence of radio addresses during crises or the stirring calls for civil rights that resonated across the globe.
• From Town Squares to Living Rooms: Trace how technology changed how we hear the "voice." Discuss the transition from outdoor public speaking to the intimacy of radio "fireside chats," and later, the visual impact of televised debates.
• The Silent Language of the Speaker: Explore the elements of communication that go beyond words, such as tone, pausing, and body language. Discuss how a speaker’s presence can convey confidence, empathy, or urgency even before they speak.
• Communication in the Digital Era: Reflect on how the internet and social media have changed the way we speak to one another. Discuss the shift from long-form oratory to short-form videos and how global connectivity has made it easier—and more complex—to share our voices.
• Event conducted fully in English.

When: May 9 (Saturday) 14:00-16:00
