About

They are aged between 15 and 18. They come from secondary schools all over France. Over the course of several months, they have learnt how to construct an argument, hold the stage and get their message across.
Tonight, they’ll take to the stage at the Bataclan.


Organised by Eloquentia and the HEC Paris Equal Opportunities Mission, this national final brings together the year’s best secondary school public speakers. Before a panel of judges and in front of you, they will go head-to-head to defend their beliefs.
Since 2012, Eloquentia has been working to ensure that public speaking ceases to be a privilege. Because, when skills are equal, knowing how to defend one’s point of view can change the course of a person’s life – and this is something that can be learnt, provided you are given the opportunity.


This evening is that opportunity. Come and listen to them.

Free entry upon registration; tickets go on sale on 14 September.
