Some 30 students registered to participate in 6 heats across 6 campuses from April through to May. Culminating in 6 articulate and confident women making the ‘floor theirs’ in the Grand Final of the SIWA The Floor is Yours public speaking competition for women enrolled in a tertiary institution. The 70 people who attended the grand final were informed, challenged and entertained by each of the speakers who spoke on topics around leadership, equity, equality or more specifically gender equality.
This was the 5th year of the competition that is a collaborative project by 5 clubs and supported by the Region of WA. This year representatives from the 5 clubs formed a committee that met regularly online to plan, support each other and implement the project.
