Anthony Galea has been crowned the 2018 JCI World Champion for Public Speaking. Dr Galea was representing Europe in the competition at the JCI World Congress in Goa, India.
In Goa, Dr Galea delivered a speech based on young people’s ability to motivate other young people.
He spoke about the importance of science communication in dealing with climate change and used his speech to empower JCI members aged 18-40 to create positive change in their communities.
Dr Galea started his journey after he won the Public Speaking Championship in Malta.
He then won the European JCI Public Speaking Championship held in Riga, Latvia, in July.
JCI Malta president Jonathan Mifsud said this was the first time Malta competed in this worldwide competition.
“Arriving to this stage is an achievement in itself but winning really makes all the hard work and dedication shown by Dr Galea and his mentors worth the effort.”
