What is Toastmasters?
Toastmasters International is an international nonprofit educational organisation, founded in the United States in 1924, with a worldwide network of clubs and members.
Toastmasters gives members the opportunity to improve public speaking, develop leadership and practise impromptu speaking in an enjoyable, mutually supportive environment.
What makes Toastmasters distinctive?
Members give speeches and receive an evaluation from a different member each time. Evaluations offer constructive observations rather than judgements, focusing on strengths and areas for improvement.
Through the Pathways education programme, you practise and develop skills in many roles: meeting participant, speaker, club officer and project team leader.
Toastmasters is a practical communication workshop: a supportive environment for experimenting with verbal communication, body language, prepared and impromptu speeches, and overcoming the fear of speaking to an audience. Its educational materials are developed professionally and refined through experience and feedback.
Toastmasters in Italy
Members meet in person and online. During meetings, they present speeches and receive evaluations from fellow members. Continuous, reciprocal feedback helps you communicate effectively at work, university, school and in other organisations.
You can develop your voice, gestures, negotiation and leadership skills. The best way to experience the Toastmasters culture is to visit a meeting as a guest. Explore the clubs and find out how to get started.
