Funded by the HSUHK Teaching Development Grants, the HSUHK Toastmaster Club was established in the Academic Year 2018/19. In full gear since January 2019, the HSUHK Toastmasters Club provided a supportive and positive environment where members had the opportunity to develop their communication and public speaking skills. Guest workshops and group meetings, where students could learn to deliver prepared and impromptu speeches and peer-review each other, were held regularly.
The HSUHK Toastmaster Club members also participated in joint-university meetings and speech contests. Competing against other Toastmasters from HKU, HKU SPACE, PolyU, and CityU in February 2019, one of our Toastmasters won third place in both the International Speech Competition and the Evaluation Speech Competition.
The line-up of collaborative activities included joint-university meetings, speech contests hosted by the home club, and the undertaking of an HKHSU English debate team. This project concluded in August 2021.
