Under the supervision of the Head of the Psychological Department represented by Dr. Zahid Sami and Dr. Jihan Omar, a symposium on the art of public speaking was held on November 1, 2023, at the University of Zakho.

It is noteworthy that the aforementioned department extended an invitation to Dr. Riad Farouz, Human Development trainer, to manage the event. Additionally, the symposium embraced a range of discussions, asserting the importance of the art of public speaking and how it is an essential skill for everyone as it helps prevent anxiety and builds a strong base for becoming a successful public speaker.

However, persuading is not the only objective of speeches today, instead, they can be used to educate, inspire, express feelings, or just provide a creative outlet for people.
