The Galapagar City Council has concluded the final phase of the II Inter-School Oratory Tournament, an initiative that brought together over 250 6th-grade Primary students from five local educational centers to enhance their communication skills.

Throughout the school year, the young participants received specialized training in oratory, which allowed them to develop fundamental skills such as public speaking, critical thinking, and teamwork. This project, which is consolidated after its first edition, seeks to strengthen educational quality in the municipality's schools, promoting essential values such as empathy, active listening, and a spirit of collaboration.
The final day of the tournament was the stage where students demonstrated what they had learned through various challenges. These included reading an unprepared speech, presenting on a topic of general interest, creating a story from random elements, and, as a culmination, delivering a motivational speech in the grand final.

"With these types of initiatives, the City Council continues to bet on innovative educational projects that foster communication, creativity, and confidence in students, preparing them to face new challenges."
