Welcome to the Gavel Club of Kochi
Teenagers are often more comfortable communicating electronically than speaking face to face. Yet many events in teenagers’ lives require interpersonal communication skills to be resolved successfully. Now, more than ever, they need guidance in developing their Communication, Public speaking & leadership skills.  All these skills are necessary for earning a living in today’s competitive job market, but are also essential for maintaining healthy personal relationships and achieving academic goals

Here comes the benefits of  Gavel clubs. Gavel clubs are gifts from Toastmasters International for children below 18 years.  Gavel club helps the children to improve the public speaking and leadership skills

Gavel Clubs operate under the guidance of Toastmasters International, a renowned non-profit organization based in the USA. These clubs are designed for students below 18 years of age to help them develop effective public speaking, communication, and leadership skills in a supportive and encouraging environment.

What is Toastmasters international  ?

How  the skills are developed ? There will be 2 club meetings in a month with 1-1/2 to 2 hours duration. During the meeting various roles such as Gavelier of the day, Timer, Wordmaster, Grammarian, AH Counter, General evaluator, speakers & evaluators etc. will be played by the participants in  rotation.
