Humanist Toastmasters : Introduction Meeting

# Introducing The Humanist Toastmasters [ Demonstration Meeting ]

### Under SG Agora • In Collaboration with Toastmasters

### International District 80, Division M, Area M2,

The Humanist Toastmasters Club is an exciting new initiative emerging from SG Agora, created for individuals who want to strengthen their communication and leadership skills through the values of humanism, critical inquiry, compassion, and community.

Working closely with Toastmasters International District 80, we are currently forming Singapore’s first Humanist-themed Toastmasters club, with a demonstration meeting planned as the next major step toward chartering.

## Why a Humanist Toastmasters Club?

Humanists are often active in dialogue, advocacy, community engagement, and public education. Many of us speak on topics such as:

• Humanism and secular values
• Social issues and community well-being
• Ethics, compassion, and critical thinking
• Personal journeys of meaning-making without religion
• Intercultural and interfaith understanding
• Science, reason, and evidence-based thinking

Toastmasters provides a structured, supportive, and internationally recognised platform for developing communication and leadership ability—skills that empower humanists to speak confidently, advocate responsibly, and build positive influence.

A Humanist Toastmasters group offers a friendly home for people who want:

• A space grounded in humanist values
• A supportive environment to practise speeches on humanism and social issues
• Leadership pathways that fit a humanist worldview
• A community of diverse thinkers who value reason, empathy, and integrity

It will be inclusive and open to anyone, humanist or otherwise, who resonates with these values.
